This really made my day yesterday, and it was a very bad day for some reason, so I thought I would share.

I had my 2 dd's and my 2 neices (school is out on a break). My 6yo comes to me at one point, sobbing. She said "No one likes me, no one wants to play with me". I get on my good mommy cap ready to reassure her that she is indeed loveable etc.

Before I could even start on my pep talk, she says "what is wrong with those people!"

I love that kid! I realized that I could learn so much from her at that moment. I am not unloveable either, I am not all the things that WH tells me I am. He doesn't want to play with me-what is wrong with HIM! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

SO VERY TRUE!!! WH is the one with the problem, not you. You are a special, unique person. There is not one single person out there in the world who is just like you!!

I am also sorry you had a bad day.

However, I had to bust out laughing over your DD's statement. I can relate so well. My dd is also 6 y.o. and I can just picture her saying the same.
