The Truth She Told

My daughter always loves to tell the "truth."

I asked her, "Is Mommy pretty?"

She said, "Mom, I'm telling the truth—you're the ugliest mom in the whole kindergarten."

When my mother-in-law pointed at my nose and called me wasteful for buying my daughter an expensive backpack, I asked her how she felt about it.

She said, "Honestly? I'm actually pretty happy when you get yelled at, Mom."

My husband jokingly asked her if she'd take care of me when I got old.

She said, "I'm not taking care of her. When she's old, she should just die already."

My heart sank.
