I title this entry: Conversations with Children that Could Be Self-Esteem Damaging
Scene: Costco
Participants: Amanda, Emily, Eden
Amanda: Look, that girl has on the same shirt as me. Too bad her boobs don't make it look weird and mine do.
Emily: But it looked like you both had the same size-ish of boobs. Maybe you just dried your shirt or something.
Eden: Emilx (that is what Annie and Eden call me), your shirt in the front is big (referring to my boobs).
Emily: Is that a good or bad thing, Eden?
Eden: It's just silly.
Scene: Native New Yorker
Participants: Emily and Annie
Emily: Annie, do I have any food in my teeth.
Annie: Ugh. Yellow.
Emily: I have yellow food in my teeth?
Annie: No. Your teeth are yellow.
Nice.

Out of the mouth of babes?
The other day I was standing in line at the bank and a man and his 4ish year old boy walked up behind me. Then the boy says very loudly, "Woah, that's a tall girl!" Thank you young child for pointing out my giantism.
I'm sorry that kids make us feel bad. I think your teeth and boobs are fabulous! :)
Yes, I agree with Melissa. If I had had nice boobs like yours I wouldn't have this nice posture that I have from hunching over all of my pre/during/post adolescent years, and maybe a higher self esteem, and maybe $4500 more in my savings.
