I know I am not supposed to tell my daughter she is pretty because then I am enforcing all sorts of longterm damage. You know, defining her self-worth with beauty, making her vein, or self-conscious. It is so easy for women to become obsessed with their looks because culture is.
But sometimes The Munch looks so cute, and I can’t help myself. The words just vomit out of my mouth.
Toni: “Munch, you are so pretty!”
Munch: “I know Mamma.”
Toni: “You know your pretty?”
Munch: “Yeah. I know I am beautiful too.”
(Yeah, pretty sure she knows she’s got it going on)!
