10 Yr Old Daughter: "Dad, did Jennie and Allie call?" (the twins - her BFF's)
Me: "Nope."
Wife: "I told you honey, they're in camp this week."
Me: "Yeah ... I'm a little surprised that you didn't want to go with them? What kind of camp was it?"
Wife: "I think they're in acting camp."
Me: "Oh my... acting camp... I can just see our shy quiet daughter in acting camp. I dont' think that would have suited you honey."
10 Yr Old Daughter: "But I act like you're not fat."

Ouch! But funny.
What's actually funnier is that I'm not really fat at all... I'm actually quite thin. But like most people who spent their whole life thin and are now reaching 'a certain age', I've suddenly starting carting around a few extra pounds that I didn't intend.
It's nothing really but to someone who's never had to worry about anyhting like that, it seems a big deal in the mirror, so I've been obsessing a little.
She and I were home alone for a few weeks and she got tired of telling me that I wasn't actually fat. I guess this is her new strategy.
