Mommy: "Honey, I'm so glad you are feeling better; it's so nice to see you smiling again. You know, you are such a beautiful* little girl."
(*Okay, I know complimenting physical appearance isn't always the 'right' thing to do. I had a moment of Mommy weakness. Forgive me.)
Sarah: "Darren says I'm ugly*, and that I have really fat lips."
(*Okay, maybe moms need to balance brothers.)
Mommy: "He's just giving you a hard time, and he's wrong. There are women who have surgery to make their lips look like yours."
Sarah (intrigued): "Surgery? To make their lips big? How do they do that?"
Mommy: "They take fat or some other kind of substance and inject it with a shot into their lips."
Sarah: "Ewww. You know, Mommy, some people are really pretty on the outside, and ugly on the inside. Isn't that so sad?"
Mommy: "It is. You are gorgeous on the outside, and even prettier on the inside..."
Sarah: "Thanks, Mommy. Can you pass me the mirror?"

I so *heart* her. And you!

once again - wise beyond her years! good job Mom!
This is great...and as Barbara said, she's definitely wise beyond her years.
When our girls were first born, my hubby had a really hard time with hearing me tell them they're beautiful. I do think it's a real balance...I tend to say, "You're sweet, smart, and beautiful." I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable explaining my rationale to them, but I more or less think that's in order of importance. :)
Love it! She IS a beautiful girl! I love when you share your conversations... makes me wonder what will come out of my girls' mouths someday!
Awww she is indeed a wise soul.
xx
Oh that is just adorable!
