19 pairs

Today while I was making dinner Eliza wandered in and casually remarked, “Mom, I have a fat bum.”

"Preschool anorexia" and other horrific thoughts popped into my head, and I quickly turned to look at her, concern lining my face, as I countered, "No you don’t! Who told you that?”

With a little giggle she confessed, “It’s my undies,” and she pulled the waistband of her shorts down just an inch to reveal 19 pairs of panties stacked on top of each other.

The funny thing was that 19 undies weren't even enough to make her look fat. But it did look like she might lose circulation soon.

Oh to be able to just peel the layers off one by one until I reach my desired size... :)

Has she been taking lessons from Rich? (Remember his kindergarten clothes-layering days?)

I love the post! Eliza is getting so big. I miss that tiny baby.
I think Mattey could pull off the same stunt. Oh, to be so skinny.

P.S. I love your beautiful picture on the side.

I love that this blog comes with a picture of her drinking frosting! HA! I agree with Kelly about the beautiful picture on the side.

If only my bum were big due to my undies...I can only dream!

Angela might call Liza "Onion girl" for so many layers! She is hilarious.
