Too Big

Molly:  *being sassy, shorty after having been told we'd take away her new "big-girl" booster seat if she didn't sit in it correctly* Well ... I'm gonna take away your big-boy chair!  I'm gonna take your chair, and then you will not drive!  I'm gonna take away your chair because you are getting to big for it!

Butch:  *sotto voce, to me*  Did she just call me fat?
