this morning ruby stood in the kitchen talking with minto who swirled around in "daddy's chair".  they talked about two girls who were skinny in ruby's 1st grade class.  she said, "they hardly have ANY fat."  i became sad, wondering why 1st grade girls would already be comparing bodies in that way.  i told her that i hope they don't get sick, bc having a little meat on your bones is good for when you get sick.  we discussed health and eating habits of a healthy person.  i wish i could homeschool and get all this filth out of my kids brains.
