What did you say?!

Jocelyn makes an observation this morning while I am standing next to her dad getting ready for work. 

"Daddy is bigger than Mommy."  We're the same height, so I know she talking about his shoulders being broader than mine. 

I say, "Yes, boys are usually more wide across than girls are."

She asks me, "Then what are girls more than boys?" 

I think for a second, and say that girls are prettier than boys.

"Girls are greedier?" she asks.

Daddy says, "Yes, they are, honey". 

And we have a good laugh.  Freudian slip by a three year old? 

{No, I am not damaging her self-worth or psyche by not degrading my husband for making a joke at the expense of women.  And yes, I could have sat around and thought of something else besides focusing on physical appearance of women, but it was just a simple moment.  I hate that I even have to point this out, but I know somebody will think it.}
