Mom blog reader's guide

The other day, I presented three complementary angles through which to appreciate the mom blog:

(1) Regardless of my actual weight and shape, mom's regularly pointing out that I have gained weight neither helps nor makes me feel good.
(2) Regularly pointing out that I have gained weight is somewhat absurd given that I'm not overweight (or close to it).
(3) It is also somewhat absurd, given that mom is clearly preoccupied with my perceived weight gain, that while mom encourages me to put sour cream in my soup and cream in my oatmeal, she vocalizes opposition when I opt to eat more soup (sans sour cream) or salad.

Does anyone else think that that's hilarious?
