Those are not my real boobs.
Let me explain…
It was the first day of kindergarten for my youngest child. I arrived early to pick her up, anxiously awaiting to hear how her day went.
The classroom door opened, and all of the children ran up to their parents proudly displaying shiny new drawings of flowers, hearts and animals.
My daughter thrust her picture into my face, beaming, “It’s you and me!”
I looked down at the picture.
Of boobs.
Really, really big boobs.
Yes, MY little artist didn’t draw hearts or flowers…she drew an EXTREMELY inaccurate depiction of her mommy for all the world to see.
“Wow!” I said. “Just…wow!”
Laughing to myself during the drive home, I was imagining the teacher probably thought Dolly Parton was coming to pick up this child.
I bet she was a little surprised when it was just me and my B-cups that strolled through the classroom door that afternoon.
I love this drawing because it is a reminder of how our children can view us so differently than we view ourselves.
Look at me here…my boobs are perky, my hair is thick and bouncy, I have a perfect, tiny nose, and my smile is bright.
I mean, really, I’ve never looked better.
And if that’s how my daughter chooses to see me, I will treasure it forever. 🙂
