There’s nothing like being brought back to earth by a brutally honest three year old. This particular three year old goes by the name of Arthur and lives next door.
A week has passed, but the harsh reality of his words still rings in my ears.
Arthur: “Um. Molly? Did you know something? Did you know that when I was a baby I drank milk from my Mummy’s boobies?”
Me: “Yes, I did know that. And when Frog was a baby she drank milk from my boobies too.”
Arthur: “Oh”, (eyes me up and down suspiciously) “Are you sure?”
Me: “Yes. Very sure. When Frog was a baby she drank milk from my boobies. Just like you drank milk from your Mummy’s boobies.”
Arthur: “Oh. OK. Um…So where are your boobies now then?”
I suppose it’s time to invest in a padded bra. *Sigh*

Oh dear – brutal aren’t they? (Couldn’t help a chuckle though – sorry!) A few days ago my daughter pointed to me and said “Mummy got boobies” then pointed to her Dad and said “Daddy got boobies” Daddy has been doing push ups religiously ever since!
Molly said:
Hilarious! Oh to have the honesty of children. You can’t beat it.

Molly said:
Alas, I won’t be there. Have a work event I have to do on the Sunday and it’s F’s birthday next week, so we’re planning a quiet family celebration before the “big” party the weekend after! Have a brilliant time. Jealous of your bra!
