And then Kramer said, “Not everyday!”

Last night, my toddler hugged my leg.

He quickly jumped back with a screech.

Mama, he looked at me with confusion on his face, you’ve got SPIKES growing out of your legs!

I told him that it was how I defended myself against alien invaders.

He nodded his head in apparent agreement and even a little awe.

If only all men were so easily impressed, eh?

    I’m not sure if I’m more amused at your babe’s statement or your response.

    Fantastic!

    My hubby noticed I was ‘fuzzy’ the other day…I told him that I was getting my ‘winter coat’ and that perhaps if he kept the thermostat set to a comfortable temp. I wouldn’t need it…..

    He merely snorted and said “Smartass”

      Snort. The only time that I insist on not shaving is when Peter does… If my delicate skin gets to be raked with your funky spiky stubble, then your legs are forfeit.

    Awesome response! Now I know what to tell my kids when they ask. Ah heck…it’s winter coming up and unless I get invited anywhere shmancy, I ain’t shaving all winter.

      I was rather impressed that it’s the first time he noticed mine… I habitually shave because it makes my legs look skinnier (and anything that makes anything look skinnier on me is golden), but I’d been totally out of razors for like two weeks. And, dude, you’re in Texas… what winter? :)

      I thought so myself… well, actually, I didn’t think at all… it was just the first thing that popped into my head that I thought would impress the little demon.
