"Mom, I wish you would grow out your hair like it was when I was little."

"How's that?"

"It was way longer. I liked it better."

"How come?"

"It made you look prettier."

"Really?"

"Yeah, because it covered up all of the freckles on your back."

"I see."

"And when you would lean forward, it would cover up the freckles on your face."

"Uh huh."

"I mean, you're still pretty. You're just A LOT prettier without all those freckles."

Relive them all:
