An Attempt at Diplomacy (Bethany)

s is not even close to a SPUNK, but I thought it was funny…I have an unbelievably honest daughter.

I’d put off my picture for the QOM contest until the very last minute. I then got my daughter to take the picture for me. She’s gotten a sudden interest in photography and she’s been playing around with my camera a bit (under heavy supervision…I adore my camera!)

She asked, “Would you like the picture taken outside, where the light is better?”

“Uh. No. Someone might see me.” I reply.

“What is this picture for?” Shiloh asks.

“A contest.” I reply

“Ummm…won’t people see it if it’s for a contest?”

“Well, yeah, but only one person. A girl. A friend of mine. That’s it.”

“Oh. Mom? I’m sorry, but I don’t think you’re gonna win the swimsuit contest.”

“You don’t think I could win a contest to for looking best in a swimsuit?” I ask

Shiloh, in an attempt at diplomacy says, “Uh. I think that’s up to you. That’s your opinion!”

I’m in a good mood so I laugh. “It’s a contest to see who loses the most weight, by May!”

“Oh! Okay! Good. I think you can win that!” she says.
“But you don’t think I could win a contest for looking the best in a swimsuit?” I ask again.

I hear her mutter, “I don’t think so…”

“What’s that?” I ask. “I couldn’t hear you.”

“I think that’s your opinion!” she yells as she quickly makes her way out of the house!
