Long ago, when big D was little, my sister and I went to have glamour photos done together. It was a lot of fun and we loved how the pictures turned out. We came home with hair and makeup still done and my youngest kept giving me suspicious looks. Finally he told me he didn't like me like that, "You look like one of those women who walk on the road."
?!?
Is my little tiny boy telling me I look like a streetwalker?! How, Why could he ever know about such a thing?!
I told (retold?) my parents about this recently while big D was in the room. Wow, a discomfiting mystery of years finally cleared up! Know what he said? "Yeah, you looked like those women on TV that walk on that little ramp or whatever. You know, they model clothes."

That is hilarious. I would have thought he meant streetwalkers too. Glad to hear he meant models. That is much more complimentary.
Oh, it was SUCH a relief after ... ten years?! Eleven? He remembered it too apparently. Even now at 15 he doesn't like those "women - if you can call them that. They look like skeletons. And they do that stupid walk."
He's not impressed but I'm still much happier knowing that's what he meant. :-)
