This boy must have a very strict mom.

That reminds me of the time my nephew was around 5 and saw a young picture of my mom and goes "oh wow! Look grandma took a shower!"...he could not articulate how to say she looked young..LOL

ok. Thats adorable and one of the few here not shaming a woman for not being pretty without makeup

This is very unclever. Children perceive things differently. They see beaty where we are quick to judge "ugly". You should, thus, even more believe her words.

One the mom who has makeup and brushed her hair. The other...doesn't.

hahaha omg

"Sort of..."

Total love and acceptance. You can't ask for more than that.

"Doritos for dinner"

"Don't tell mommy!"

Savage....

Age. son, age....

I still find this confusing, i make a mental note of hair style and colour. If it changes then i don't recognize them.

Right he is...

Was this the sign of an epic hangover?

My mom as 38 When my twin sister and I was born. We were asked that a lot when we went to school. I actually got very upset then.

Oof, harsh.

This one reminds me of my brother. I wasn't born yet, so it's a family story I know, not something I remember myself. Our mom always had elegant straight long hair, then she had to cut it for health and practical reasons. My brother, who was still a baby/ toddler couldn't recognize her for a good while.

I once had my daughter ask me very loudly why my boobs were so long when trying on bras. Much sniggering ensued from the next cubical.

Sounds like when my mom would get on us to clean the house. We'd always ask, "Who's coming over?"

Same... but a beard

I would love to be compared to Joaquin Phoenix

This has more to do with the fact that kids like consistency than her actual appearance. They'd like her either way as long as she always appeared the same way. I changed my hair and my nephew screamed "no!" when he first saw me.

(enter correct sound of sympathy)

I have a cat named Merida because she is brave. I lover her to bits

This is why gender stereotypes are bad, people. This is also why insisting boys are actually girls in boys bodies because they like pink and have long hair and wear dresses is bad, people.

This reminds me of a time when my kids were quite young. I babysat to make extra money for the household. The lady I babysat for looked about 16. One day my son asked me why some moms look like teenagers. Fishing for a compliment, I asked him I looked like a teenager. He said "No, you look like a really mom". I didn't know if I should feel complimented or insulted! LOL

oodpf

What I read was 'My son once looked at a picture of me with makeup...' and I went like 'Why was your son with makeup?' LOL

Daria?

Junior in high school, I am a girl. I have short hair. I was wearing a dress. A sophomore I didn't know changed pronouns every time he referred to me. "She's wearing a dress... do you think he's enjoying the story? I wouldn't involve them." And the like.

I don't understand what she is saying!

I can understand they left their son with the babysitter but why did she have to emphasize that he was crying as if this was somehow funny?
