"That's when you used to be skinny"

Last Sunday at church was fun. :) I volunteer in the nursery. I love listening to the pastor's sermon so don't get me wrong. However, it was a fun break with other girls. Basically we had one infant and two women in the nursery. The mom of the infant wanted to stay in the room because her son was sad. It was really sweet. However, it made being in there totally relaxing as you can imagine a ratio of 3 adults to one child! Hahaha... I am sure some of you wish you had that ratio at home. :) So we are having fun visiting when two other church members stopped by to join the conversation. There was a man and a woman. The conversation went something like this....

Man to Me: " I was looking at an old church directory and just now found out your maiden name, Ashling." 

Me: smiling "yep, that was me."

Woman to me: (here it comes, are you ready??) "That's when you used to be skinny."

Me to woman: smiling and chuckling " Are you say I am not skinny anymore."

Woman: "Oh, I mean just around the middle."

Makes me wonder if people just say stuff like that in the church because they feel safe enough to cut loose, or if they're really that way at work or with friends. Unbelievable. p.s. the pic at the top of the page is AWESOME. I hadn't seen it yet, because I usually read on RSS.

opps...how embarrasing! I don't think I ever was skinny...I was born a chunk, and will die a chunk. I was #11, 1 ounce at birth...yikes!
