Bobs!

G-Unit has become obsessed with the question "When I become an adult can I ________?"

"When I become an adult, can I lock the bathroom door?"

"When I become an adult, can I cook my own macaroni and cheese?"

"When I become an adult, can I wear makeup to school?"

But her most favorite one for the past month?

"When I become an adult, can I have big boobs like you, Mommy?"

She's completely fascinated with the idea of big boobs and cleavage. Every time I put a shirt on her, she asks why she doesn't have lumps like I do when I put a shirt on. And so we have the same conversation almost EVERY DAY about how "Yes! You'll have boobs like Mommy when you're an adult" (Except, fingers are crossed that she doesn't because, girlfriend, big boobs aren't all they're cracked up to be.)

It would seem that she doesn't have the patience to wait until she's an adult because last night she came to the dinner table looking like this:

"What is that in your shirt, G?"

"Oh, those are my boobs."

And she was SERIOUS.

And I was laughing.

And PigHunter was in shock.

Eventually she let us in on her little secret and we all laughed for a very long time.

I don't even want to begin to imagine what the Teenage Years are going to be like because I'm scared.

Flying Spaghetti Monster, that was funny.

I'm 25 and I'm still wondering if when I become an adult I'll get boobs.

Hopefully she'll be blessed with non-toothpaste shaped bobs someday in the distant future.

Hilarious story. Boobs are a curse if you ask me - I never wanted them and then they came and I got used it them but now they are huge and I hate them again. She'll learn - too quickly I imagine. Unless she's one of those lucky one's with size B boobs :-)

Girl, I hear you! My daughter, who is seven now, terrifies me with the way she tries to be all cute and teenage-like. The other day, she says, "Mama, watch THIS!" and then she bends over and starts doing this dancer-like butt shake dance. It was hilarious, but terrifying at the same time. WHO TAUGHT HER THAT?! It wasn't even something Hannah Montana would do. Or maybe it is, and I just missed that episode!

Posted by: Christine at November 12, 2008 2:55 PM

OMG I can stop LOLing!! I had to share this with my husband because we have a girl about G's age and we're wondering when this stage will start.

Posted by: mrsdoxtater at November 12, 2008 2:55 PM

My kid is obsessed with getting big boobs, too. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) she's never stuffed her shirt with toothpaste. LOL

Posted by: Nina at November 12, 2008 3:05 PM

toothpaste boobies! I LOVE it! oh, and those teen years...I, too, am scared...very scared

Posted by: Stacie at November 12, 2008 3:38 PM

i am so excited for when she, a teenager, looks back on this post and begs you to please, please, please take it down because omgherfriendswillfindout!

Posted by: e at November 12, 2008 3:42 PM

Ah, mothers of daughters can relate to this story. My older girl did this too, with rolled up socks when she was young. Now that she's a teen, she's blaming ME for her big ones! Sheesh! Never satisfied.

Posted by: MomZombie at November 12, 2008 3:49 PM

This is why Pighunter and I are loading our shot guns now.

Posted by: Chris at November 12, 2008 4:20 PM

That is so cute and she is so smart, you'll have your hands full and it will never be the same for you, nor does it ever end..now I'm into the granddaughters and great grandchildren and each is quit an education...

Have fun, and learn to breathe a lot..long deep breathes...

My best, Dorothy from grammology

Posted by: Dorothy Stahlnecker at November 12, 2008 4:31 PM

That is the funniest thing I've ever seen! Love your blog...you keep me laughing!

Posted by: Kim at November 12, 2008 4:50 PM

Priceless.

But having teenage girls isn't all it's cracked up to be, even if you have a good one.

Posted by: Headless Mom at November 12, 2008 5:13 PM

Does this remind anyone of the Little House on the Prairie episode where Laura put apples in her dress?

Posted by: Jules at November 12, 2008 5:23 PM

Found you through Flickr. Great photographer AND writer! I'm going to be back ;)

Posted by: Jeanine at November 12, 2008 5:44 PM

huh. She's better at stuffing her shirt than I am. And I've been doing it for ten, er, twenty years.

Posted by: Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundry at November 12, 2008 7:18 PM

You're a really good photographer. I always meant to tell you that.

Posted by: Tracee Sioux at November 12, 2008 7:18 PM

Be sooo glad she doesn't have a little brother! Girl Terror (who also has a great desire to be a grown up) has taught Boy Terror to stuff balls in his shirt for boobs, and stuffed animals in the bottom of his shirt for his "baby". That way he can be a well stacked pregnant chick.

Posted by: Tammy at November 12, 2008 7:58 PM

Thank you for that much needed laugh!

Posted by: Miss Missie and Her Chocolate Martini at November 12, 2008 8:09 PM

OMG, that is so funny! Thank goodness you got a picture-you can bribe her when she has her first boyfriend and doesn't want him to see it!

Posted by: baseballmom at November 13, 2008 12:05 AM

Great story. I'm still laughing.

Posted by: Maria at November 13, 2008 1:39 AM

Just don't plan on having a baby and breastfeeding in front of her anytime soon ..... or she'll walk around town with one of her baby dolls strapped to her chest. (um, not that I'm speaking from experience about my own daughter, or anything.) :)

Posted by: Kristie at November 13, 2008 5:24 AM

Wonderful story. OMG, I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I did the same thing when I was little... only I shoved toilet paper under my shirt. The result, after gravity did it's thing, was one very lopsided boob! My family had a great laugh at my expense.

Posted by: Terri at November 13, 2008 5:40 AM

Poor kid, saddled with lopsided fake boobs. Very funny.

Posted by: patois at November 13, 2008 6:10 AM

AMEN! My 4 yr old daughter is obsessed, too! Only she doesn't want "big boobies b/c is will hurt to have them grow!" We have the discussion almost everyday about how it doesn't hurt and she won't even feel it happening. Love it!

Posted by: Jill at November 13, 2008 6:48 AM

As a flat-chested woman who bemoaned her lack of boobage...until pregnancy and nursing showed her how gross it felt to have tits that rested on a pregnant stomach, I feel your concern. With boys, it's something else entirely.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered your comment on my blog! Thanks for coming by!

Posted by: apathy lounge at November 13, 2008 7:22 AM

Ha! Girl's gone for retro 1950's torpedo boobs! Love it!

Posted by: Looking Glass Jewels at November 13, 2008 7:33 AM

Love that girl. I thought she was using a roll of biscuit dough judging by the shape.

You are right big boobs are a major source of frustration. I hate them. Cannot wait to get a breast reduction STAT.

Posted by: Mom on the Run at November 13, 2008 7:34 AM

If she can master shirt-stuffing at this young age, she's going to be unstoppable on the pageant circuit later!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, couple that with her already-finely-honed ability to wear way too much bright red lipstick? This girl's a Miss America looking for a catwalk!

Posted by: Lauren at November 13, 2008 10:18 AM

I'm still waiting for my boobs too! :)

And regarding those teen years - as the mother of a 16 yo girl and a 13 yo girl - be afraid, be very very afraid!

Posted by: dalgal at November 13, 2008 10:33 AM

LOLOL! LMAO!!! I cannot stop laughing! She is too creative - I would never have guessed it was toothpaste.

Posted by: Maria at November 13, 2008 12:35 PM

My daughter does the exact same hing, she's five and everything is ...When i'm a lady....she too can't wait to get boobs... the pressure they put on themselves!....what if they have small boobs..what then?.....i hope she'll ultimately be happy no matter what size she is...Thanks for the laugh.

Posted by: Lily at November 13, 2008 1:00 PM

that was priceless! thanks for the laugh :)
my poor 3 year old daughter has been subjected to the sight of my boobs entirely too much since i brought my new son home from the hospital on saturday. i'm just waiting for the awesome questions and comments, especially in public.

Posted by: tara at November 13, 2008 1:42 PM

didn't the paste make her tingle? - lol! too cute. My 12yo (son - obviously) is on and on lately about his- well, you know what... size. Did you go through this with your son's!? Tell me it is normal!

Posted by: eko at November 13, 2008 1:46 PM

My oldest is 19. Years. You are right to be scared.

Posted by: Amy @ Milk Breath & Margaritas at November 13, 2008 2:27 PM

That is kind of hilarious.

Posted by: zandor at November 13, 2008 5:19 PM

I have to admit, it took me 3 seconds too long to figure out the connection between her boobs and the toothpaste tube.

Posted by: CC at November 14, 2008 4:39 AM

My now 12 yo used to put socks in her shirt. Now that she actually has boobs, she does what she can to hide them :)

Oh, and I laughed at one of the comments about their little girl breastfeeding her dolly. My (nearly) 2 yo son does that on occasion.

Posted by: Angela at November 14, 2008 10:59 AM

I blame it on Disney. All the princesses and heroines always have a big rack ;)

By the way, Aquafresh Pump! We use the same toothpaste :)

Posted by: dana michelle at November 14, 2008 5:33 PM

She is so cute. And I totally feel your pain. I'm taking my 6-year-old shopping for boots this weekend because she's been begging me for them for two weeks. She's a budding fashionista. But so far not much boob talk here. Thank Gawd. ;)

Posted by: Jamie at November 15, 2008 9:40 AM

OMG! I had to de-lark for this!

That is kind of hilarious and cute, but sooo scary later! =)

Posted by: Katie at November 16, 2008 3:51 AM

LMAO! Had to delurk to say that I prayed for big boobs "just like mommy's" as a late-blooming teenager and God gave me ridiculously humongous breasts as a joke I'm assuming. Seriously, who else wears a 34I (34DDDDDD) sized bra?! And my mom? She's happy as a clam in a 34DD which I once thought was SO BIG!

Posted by: Charity at November 17, 2008 2:34 PM

Wow. I never asked my mom whether I'd have breasts that size. But maybe that's why I was punished with such small ones......... HAHAHHA!!!

Great post.

Posted by: Fabulously Broke at November 19, 2008 8:19 AM

This is going on in my house` too! Y; I really enjoy your posts and pictures. I cry with you over your Grandpa...and smile with you hen you talk about your kids. I think you're great.

    About Y
    My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 15 year old son, a 11 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
