Here is glimpse at what living with a very observant, outspoken four year old looks like:
The other day we stopped to see Bryan at the store and to have dinner with him. On our way out of the store we ran into one of Byran's coworkers and he decided to walk with us. Here is the conversation that followed:
Bryce (directed at Bryan's coworker): "Why do you have a big, fat, belly"
Me (in a hushed whisper): Bryce..that is not a nice thing to ask. Everyone looks different and that is okay.
Bryce: What do you mean?
Me: You have skinny legs and it would hurt your feelings if someone asked why you are skinny
Bryce (in a very loud voice): But Mommy, I do have skinny legs. My legs are skinny because I eat a little. His stomach is big and fat because he eats a lot. His tummy is funny.
Me: Bryce! That is not nice. It is not nice to say things like that. And it is not nice to point out why you think other people look funny.
Bryce: Why mommy? I do have skinny legs so it's okay for you to say that. One of the kids in my class has a very little head and I tell him that all the time!!

Well, you at least have to appreciate his honesty.
