Children Have No Filter

I was dressing this morning for an important meeting in which I will run into several people who I want to/need to impress.  Though, quite frankly, I'm pretty sure that I have already impressed the important ones. 

After dressing, putting shoes on, brushing teeth and hair, I went straight to the top to get their opinion on how I looked....my kids.

Me: "Do I look ok?"
Bubba: "Wow, Mom! You look GREAT!"
Banana: "You look fat"
Bubba: "Ban, that's NOT nice! You don't tell old people they are fat"

Really?? HAHA!
My children do not have filters.  As an adult, I can choose to turn mine on and off.  So while I WANTED to say:
"I may be fat but your ugly and I can lose weight but you will ALWAYS be ugly"....
I did not....for three reasons.

1.  It's not true...Banana is super cute.
2. She is six (almost 7 as she frequently reminds me)
3.  I chose to use my filter....and instead replied.

"Banana, it's not nice to tell people they are fat, and Bubba I am NOT old!"

They began their breakfast.  Banana insists she knows everything and began giving us math problems to solve.

Banana: "What's 1+0?"
Bubba: "1, give me a hard one!"
Banana: "What's 60 +18?"
Me: "88"
Bubba:"78, Mom clearly doesn't understand numbers"
Me: "I was a psych major"\

Bubba: "Banana, what is 2x+4=18?"
Banana: "That's not math"
Bubba: "Yes, it is, it's geometry"
Me: "No, it's algebra"
Bubba: "Oh yeah, but you can't possibly KNOW that...YOU were a Psych major!"

HAHAHA! Get on the bus!

Anyway, I chose to stay dressed despite looking Great and Fat...and apparently old.
However, despite the lack of filters...I am glad I am not a rabbit, because I enjoyed this chat with the children this morning!
