Skinny vs. thick

So today at school when picking up matteo, the teacher informed me that he was "hitting" a little girl......but then the teacher went on to say that the little girl may have been dramatizing it....... so right away I inquired to Matteo whether he "hit" the girl or not - to which he says no, he was just touching her. *relief*

So of course, I make him apologize to the girl regardless as it must have upset her enough to make her tell the teacher (though I know this little girl and she reports EVERYTHING). So I then ask Matteo to SHOW me how he was touching her - and sure enough (because I know Matteo doesn't know enough to lie) - he was touching her gently around the belly - though still touching - which of course is a "no no". So when I asked him WHY he was touching he said he wanted to see if she was "skinny or thick." Okay.

So later I casually asked WHY did he need to see if she was skinny or thick...to which Matteo responded "if she is skinny she will not hibernate very well." So I said well which is she...turns out she is "thick" so she has no worry.........

Then I saw what he made in school........



and am yet AGAIN reminded of just how innocent Matteo is (though certainly touching is never permitted).
