Lookin' Good

"Hey mom.  You look great today!"  comments Gavin as we drive to pick up Tiffany from swim this morning.

Wow, I think to myself. I haven't put on makeup and my hair is only half done--clipped in sections haphazardly on top of my head.  I am showered and not in my exercise clothes, so I guess that is a step up. Maybe my new skin regime is working.  "Thanks Gavin" I reply sweetly.

"Well..." he says taking an extra look, "you mostly look good."  Then there is a pause.

I look in the rear view mirror at his little face and I can see he is battling his desire to be honest with his desire to be kind.

"Well, except for the top of your hair, you look good..... Your hair looks static-y, you know, like you got hit by lightning."

What a cute kid! It's hard to be angry when he insults you... ;)

It is pretty funny. And you're right, who can be offended with the sweet little boy.
