Sunday Funnies: *POP* Goes My Ego

This story actually happened a few years ago but I couldn't resist posting it after Lisa from Boondock Ramblings sparked the memory from one of her own similar stories.

Let me just begin by admitting the humiliating truth that when I was pregnant I puffed up like the Michelin Man.  I was even as white as he was, I could put a Cullen to shame.  That tends to happen when you lay in bed for seven months.  So after having my third child I was a little scary.
One warm and sunny afternoon in June my family decided that we should go to the lake and take our ancient boat, Herman, out for a little paddle around the puddle, I mean lake, that is near our home.  After searching for a bathing suit I found to my horror that the only one that I had in my possession was a blue and green tie-dyed one from my teenage years, when I was a size 0.  Yeah, that was a blow to my ego.
Discovering such a depressing piece of clothing still in my wardrobe put the plans for the day on hold for a bit.  I called my sister and told her that we could meet them over at the lake but first I was going to have to go to the store and find a swimming suit that would fit my big fat butt.
So I packed my three kids up and we went shopping.  Kira was so excited to go shopping, she loves shopping.  And she particularly LOVES swimming suits.  As I flipped through the dwindling supply of basic colored bathing suits Kira was on a hunt of her own.  After several minutes of intense searching she pulled this hideous suit that was a black,green, pink, and blue swirl of nauseating colors off the rack and walked over to me.  She held it up to my back side and looked at it with a critical eye.
"Mom," she announced in a very serious voice. "I think this one will fit your big fat butt."
It was an Extra-Extra-Extra Large.
Kids have such a way of destroying your ego.
