email from Lillie's kindergarten teacher:
I thought you like to know that Lillie announced your age today in class. She said you were 81 years old. I said "Lillie I don't think so." and she said "something old like that."
Lillie: Mommy what is that red circle around your belly?
Me: It is from my pants, they are too tight.
Lillie: You can't wear pants anymore, that is your only option.
Me: OK!
