Humility...

Malia asked me the other day, "Mom, what did you look like when you were a girl?" I replied, "a little bit like you." She answered, "You looked like me, and you didn't have spots all over?" (She was referring to my freckles). I said, "Well, I looked like you, but with spots." Malia, "Oh." And she walked away.

It's funny because I don't think of myself as having freckles but I really do...a lot of them. Nothing like a kid to point out the forgotten obvious...

Don't worry Michelle, I get a little dose of humility any time the girls draw a picture of me. The most prominent feature is always the hair and how it's not there.
