Dania, Nate and I were watching The Cosby Show the other night (the clothes are hideous btw) while Dania was commenting on the appearances of the girls on the show. She was saying which one she thought was the prettiest when out of nowhere we hear. "I am almost perfect, except for my ugly feet." We laughed and asked "almost perfect?"
"yep, except my feet"
"your feet?" "What's wrong with your feet?"
"oh they are so flat, I try to push up here and hold them like this" (she demonstrates pushing on her arches and flexing her toes up in the air to make the arch)
"What else is wrong with them?" I ask.
"My toes are short and spray out too much, so I squeeze them in like this, and soon they'll be better."
We got the biggest laugh out of this conversation, and we were glad to see her self esteem intact. The boys can be ruthless, rude, critical and beyond frank in their assessments of her and her behaviors. I would love to say that they are the sweetest big brothers with brotherly love towards their sister, but most of the time that is not the case, much to my dismay. I am so thankful for her resilient personality and her happy go lucky nature. The girl never holds a grudge and somehow manages to be almost perfect.
