My daughter wants a new swimsuit. We were at the outlet mall, browsing. I pointed to an orange striped bikini that didn't look too revealing.
Me: How about this one?
Her: It’s okay for you, maybe.
Me: Honey, I think my bikini days are over.
Her: Nuh-uh. Have you seen the people on the beach? You’re skinny.
Me: That doesn’t mean I'd look okay in a bikini.
Her: What are you talking about? No one looks good in a bikini. Those days are gone!
I'm not sure if that’s good news or bad news. I’m going to eat another scoop of ice cream and think about it.

LOL! That illo is hilarious! :0)
Cute convo w/ your daughter too. :0)
ROFL! Your drawing alone speaks volumes! And you ain't seen nothing til you've see tourists on the beach in the islands with their white fish-belly skin and jello bellies wearing...you got it...bikinis!
How funny! My suite that I got a couple of years ago which was a little loose on me? Well now it's too small. It shrunk in the drawer.
Or possibly chocolate has something to do with it : )
Love the drawing!!
Too Cute..
I love that girl in the drawing, I can so relate to her....

Too funny! I love the drawing, too. And your daughter's absolutely right. : )
Adorable illustration!!
Ahhh, the bikini days...I'm way past them. Thank goodness for tankinis!
THAT is a good daughter: )
Hey! I think that's good news. If bikini days are gone and no one looks good in them anymore, I'm going to join you and eat ice cream! : )
Love it!! ;)
I love that pic (so revealing-or at least reminiscent of my trips to the swimsuit store) and I've got stories I could tell about what my kids have said to me when we've gone boating - heck, I think I will tell one. Thanks for being my muse :)
Love the illustration and the conversation with your daughter!
Think I used to own one suit like your pic without the bow !
A cute drawing too.
Your daughter is right, though. I spent days trying on suits for a trip to a waterpark/hotel spot last year, only to get there and relize that the general standard is far, far lower than my own.
I love that picture too!
No one looks good in a bikini anymore? We must live in a time warp here; there are far too many curvy young things swanning around, including my own kid...
Bathing suit shopping is evil and should be banned!
Oh how I hate bathing suits!
I LOVE your daughter. She's great!
Awww, your daughter's reply made me smile. LOVE the drawing!
