She looked like ..........


Okay all I have to say in my defense is that anyone who knows me if you ask me my honest opinion I will give it. Sometimes, I will give it when not asked for as well.

I have never been and will never be one that will tell you a lie. Especially when it comes to big girls wearing white. I am sorry this is an A1 no no. Major fashion suicide. You might as well be a bulleyes for some big game shoot. Seriously I cannot ever recall a full size woman that I know personally pulling this one off.

So you can imagine my horror, shock, surprise whatever emotion or all of the above when my own precious daughter came home with a white coat. She proudly came out to model it. I am now in pain, tongue nearly ready to bleed as I am biting it to keep from saying anything.

I begged her in my mind to not ask me those five little words. The words came so easy from her mouth. "What do you think Mom?" I could no longer hold back. I tried to be gentle as I could. Not wanting to crush her spirit.

But, before I knew that thing we will call my alter ego took over. All I could see in from of me was that big marshmellow creature from the movie "Ghost Busters." Before I knew it, I said it plain as day, you look like a big marshmellow. I then cringed waiting for her response.

She looked at me and was not pleased. I apologized, and quickly followed it with my take on the color white and full figured girls and women. I thought it best she hear from me. We can now laugh about it and she has thanked me for telling the truth.
