Big vs Tall

5 year old: "Teacher. You sure are big."

Mrs. D: (smiling sweetly) "Oh you mean, I am really tall, like a tall tree."

5 year old: "No, I mean big. Like you weigh 200 pounds, teacher."

Mrs. D: (forcefully smiling) "Please go away and do something else."

That's hilarious! Abbie is really into comparing people's ages to sizes and she always refers to them as 'bigger' and has me worried- I always try to explain taller : ).

Ha ha, thanks for sharing Jill. I think you should have told the kid, "Well, you're ugly, so there!" Way to show great maturity than I would have :)
