I feel sad

I volunteered in my daughter's kindergarten class today.

This evening, I asked her if any of the kids said anything about me after I left. I said, "Did anybody think I was really mean, or did anybody think I was really nice ?"

She said, "No, they probably thought you were fat, because sometimes you are fat and sometimes you aren't."

She said it very matter-of-factly. It definitely wasn't mean - she thinks of "fat" as a descriptor, not as a good or bad thing.

I really thought I had a couple years left to get this under control before the girls noticed. I guess not.
