Pretty One


Today the girls were describing themselves at breakfast.  A Girl said, "I'm the silly one."  Little K said she was the cute one and K Girl piped up, "I'm the pretty one."  I nearly choked on my tea. What have I done these girls?!  I wanted to make sure they had healthy self esteems.  Oh...they have healthy self esteems alright. They're downright arrogant, in fact.  I'm trying to back pedal but I think the damage is done.  Anyway, I said, "you're all pretty girls".  So then K Girl wanted to know "what" she was?!  I said, "You're the sweet one".  Of course I added the caveat that they're all sweet but I told K Girl she was especially sweet.  The girls then wanted to know what O Boy was.  I thought about it and said, "He's the obedient one".

But back to the pretty one...she may not be the only pretty one but she definitely IS a pretty one...of course I might be biased.

She is certainly pretty, almost unreal.

And it's not arrogant, simply accurate.

They have their mother's filters, clearly. :)
