Beautiful Brains, Part 2

Ohm nom nom...

Ohm nom nom…

“Mommy! Mommy! Come feel my skin,” M2 urges me enthusiastically several nights ago. “It’s so smooth! And you know why?”

“I don’t know. Tell me,” I indulged her.

“You’ve stopped calling us that name!” she said happily.

Feigning surprise, I said,”Ahh…. the ‘P’ word. I’ve been calling you two ‘Beautiful skin with brains’ and ‘Beautiful brains’, that’s why.”

“But you know what?” she added. “Not only my skin is so smooth now, my face is so round like the mooncakes we’ve been eating!”

It is the Mid-Autumn Festival this week and we have been savoring a lot of mooncakes. The girls love all the different flavors and eating to their heart’s content.

“Maybe you should call us ‘Skinny Face’ instead so that we don’t have mooncake faces because the other name worked,” M2 suggested.

Hahahaha… I don’t know… somehow ‘Skinny Face’ is not such an endearing term.
