Do any of you know what Fat Amnesty is?
I have it.
For those of you who aren't familiar with it, it's the state of being pardoned for being fat. In fact, not only do I have Fat Amnesty, I'm being encouraged to not only be fat, but to stay fat.
For all of you carb counters out there, HA!
I told Mikyla the other day that we have to start walking in the mornings, to get this weight off of me. She's getting a little chubby herself, she's gaining weight at a rapid rate - no - there's nothing wrong, she's just got a voracious appetite, it's surpassing Mallory's, surprisingly, and has since she had her adenoids removed.
She looked at me all puzzled and asked me what that means.. walking to lose weight.. and I told her I need to lose some of my fat..
She said, "You mean you'll be skinny, like mommy then?"
I said, well yeah, I want to be thin, I don't want to be fat, so we have to start walking...
She got this nervous/scared look on her face, waved her hands and shook her head..
"No, no no no, Mammy, I don't want you to be skinny, I like your fat! Please don't go walking and get skinny!"
I was stumped.. "Why not, Mikyla?"
"Because", She answered, "If you're skinny you won't be able to fight off the monsters and ghosts anymore for me. STAY FAT!"
*laughs*
I have to admit.. I LOVE Fat Amnesty! Pass me those Emmyemms!!
