To preface, I am a very trim and slender woman who is accustomed to not being able to even get through a quick grocery store run without receiving looks of admiration as well as jealousy.
Anyway, this weekend I brought DD along to the grocery store in order to pick up some goodies for the Superbowl party that DH and I were hosting. While in the condiments aisle I couldn't help but notice an overweight (think FUPA) woman wearing stained sweatpants and a lumberjack top, looking haggardly at the ketchup bottles.
I quickly tried to manuever our cart out of that particular aisle because I didn't want to expose DD, but it was too late. She looked at me, with her big and innocent eyes, and asked "Mommy, why did God let this woman let herself go like that?" I know that the deeply shamed woman heard her, but she pretended to be immersed in her ketchup pursuit and didn't even look our way. I said, "I will explain it to you during the car ride home."
Of course DD asked again as soon as I got back to the car after returning my cart. I still couldn't come up with an answer, despite being a very well educated woman in possession of a MBA. She was deeply traumatized to know that those sort of people exist and asked for an explanation again this morning... What would you say?
Re: How would you have responded?
This place is making me this morning, but this is some ridiculous MUD to present. Even on a slow day.
Same here!
Maybe people stare because you look like Jack Skellington?
I also find it very shameful that you teach your daughter that kind of crap.

Wow OP, that wasn't even good!
No longer will I +1 or a damn thing that you say so good foooooocking luck.
OK.
This.Is.AWESOME!!!
I think she just said that everyone on this board is God. Did I read that right? lmk.
Also, I am sad I had to look at that freak of nature horse-dog thingy again. That did not improve my mood today.

Hey, if that's what your MBA education is steering you to do...sounds like a plan. Good luck and Godspeed.

That'll do, Pig, that'll do.
I would have told her that not all people (like you) have the opportunity to be pretty on the inside like lumberjack woman, and they have to make do with thinking they (you) are pretty on the outside and ignore the buttnugget they (you) are on the inside.
Also, the staring you think you are getting from people is probably cause your head has swelled to the size of your gigantor asss so you now look like this but its hard for you (them) to see that when they (you) dont fit in the mirror.
I think you have bigger problems.
Lol! I was wondering this too.
You're probably not respectable at all and are using an AE to try and cut down on the flames.
You failed.
Miserably.
ETA: I'm slender and fit too. Thats my pic at the bottom. NO really it is me. See my bf Wakka in the back ground?
