A mom delivered an unforgettable reply when her daughter called her “fat.” “Today, my small daughter told me that she didn’t want to be fat like me,” Sharon Johnson, a mother of six in Utah, said in a . “Now, instead of breaking down in tears or saying, ‘We don’t use the word fat,’ I simply looked at her and said, ‘Why is that, sweetheart?’” Her 5-year-old daughter’s answer: “Well, because I want to run fast and you can’t run fast, Mom.
” Johnson told her daughter that her speed has nothing to do with her weight. “I said, ‘The reason why I can’t run fast is because I haven’t practiced running fast. I should be running more often so I can practice,’” Johnson said in the video.
“I said, ‘And did you know, just because someone has a thinner body, doesn’t mean they can run fast?’” recalled Johnson. “She said, ‘You know, I have a friend that’s thin and can’t run very fast!’ Johnson replied, “I know, and that’s because you can’t tell what someone can do just based off what they look like.’ She said, ‘Huh.
I guess so! Mom, do you think you could start running fast?’” The mom went outside and ran four blocks. “Stop making excuses because you’re fat,” Johnson said in her video. “It’s not the reason you’re not doing things.
The reason why you’re not doing things is because you you can’t do them because you’re fat. When really, you can just go do things fat.” Johnson’s commenters said hear.
