Conversation with Nix

P - Mom, do I have big lips or small lips? Me - Um...I think you have normal lips. P - No Mom! Are they big or small? Me - I don't know, why Phoenix? P - Because I want big lips like these girls! Me - (I looked over to see that she was looking at the JCPenney catalog.) Phoenix, your lips are small because you are young. When you grow up you will have bigger lips like these girls. Why don't I give you something else to read? P - Ok. Is she already noticing what the public says is pretty? When she said that my heart sank. I realized that she will soon struggle with what's "pretty" and what is "not".
