Theperception of children

My kids see things differently. I do't know what they see, but it somehow appears differently. For example. I made an ugly cake last year for Lena's birthday and was going tp throw it away, but she told me it was beautiful,and kept it. I also sewed some very ugly dresses for the girls to wear to curch and they always ask to wear them. I thouht they were hideous, and they became a huge source of embarrassment to me. Someone said, "I love your daughters dresses. I couldn't ever do that and I'm not handicapped." It made me fel good, but question if it is just kids or me.

I must see things differently. I remeber in Grade school everyone thought their mother was beautiful. Well, I loved my mom, but I thouht she was ugly, i still do, I dateda boy in college that everyone thouht was cute, but I thought he was fat and ugly, it didn't matter to me though so I didn't give it much thought. Then when I had children, I thought I was fat, Everyone else lookedfat too so I figured it was just a perception thing. I remember thinking one lady was vry thin, but afterI lost mt pregnancy pounds I though she looked huge
