From Curly:
Mommy, can I ask you something?
Me: You can ask me anything.
Curly: Just because I am beautiful on the outside, does that mean I am ugly on the inside?
Me: No, Baby. A person can be beautiful on the inside and the outside.
Curly: Oh.
Me: Do you know what it means to be beautiful on the inside?
Curly: uh-uh.
Me: It means you are a good person. You are kind and sweet and loving and caring and thoughtful and nice to others. And you are. So you are beautiful on the inside.
Curly: And the outside. I'm beautiful on the outside too, right?
Me: Yes you are. You are beautiful in all ways.
Curly: Well I was pretty sure I was beautiful on the outside, but I didn't know about the inside part.
Me: Well now you know, right?
Curly: Yeah. I am beautiful inside and outside.
Me: That's right!
I hope she always thinks so.
