Remington, after giving Ryan a hug said, "Dad, I would ask why you are getting fat, but that would hurt your feelings...so...why are you getting more round?"
Ryan, trying to explain the phenomenon to Remington, said, "Well, it is just something that happens to a person as they get older."
Remington, "But Dad, Michael Phelps is older, and he is NOT getting more round!"
...I think that Remington made his point. And now, Ryan knows who he is being compared to, Michael Phelps, the most decorated olympic athlete of all time!

Ha ha! "Getting round!" And I also laughed that Michael Phelps is "older!" What is he? A whopping 23? Ha! Kids are SO funny and SO cute!! I wish I could meet yours! I bet they're little Lenas running all over the place!
That is a nice way of delivering a blow to the pride! Around here we just get more "muscular," and I have more muscles on my rear end than you can imagine! Too bad our kind of muscles don't translate into more energy, strength, or burned calories.
That is hilarious...but only becuase I can just picture Rem trying to be so sweet and gentle about it! I just love that boy and all your kids! I am still laughing...yah, still laughing...and yes, still laughing!
It sounds like Ryan handled it like a champ!
Kid's honesty can be unbelievably cruel! Good job, Ryan, for handling that comment with your head held high... I would've burst out into a flood of tears!
That is so funny! Poor Ryan. But what a cute thing for Rem to say and it sounds like he tried to use some tact. Hey, when and where will you guys be in Utah??? I'm sooooo excited to see you!
You are too kind...and I am more than a little envious of your Anthro shopping. The closest one around here is SLC, which is 3 hours away! So think of me next time you purchase a beautiful (clearance) item there.
It's just 'age' huh???
guess I am getting older!
