One day my 3-year-old daughter said 'Your very handsome, Poppy.' That was the best compliment ever.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nothing beats having this beautiful child look at me and say mum. I get soppy all the time.
My daughter was a beautiful child.
My mother carried me for 10 months. I asked her 'Mother, you had an extra month, why you didn't make me a beautiful face?' and mother told me, 'My son, I was busy making your beautiful hands and heart.'
When I grew older and awkward, when my parents divorced and life had gone all to hell, Demetrie stood me at the wardrobe mirror and told me over and over, 'You are beautiful. You are smart. You are important.' It was an incredible gift to give a child who thinks nothing of herself.
The best compliment to a child or a friend is the feeling you give him that he has been set free to make his own inquiries, to come to conclusions that are right for him, whether or not they coincide with your own.
The highest compliment I could ever receive about my kids - and I can say that this does happen frequently - is when the in-flight crew say to me, 'Your children are wonderful. They are so well-behaved.' Every time I am told that, I could weep.
It's an amazing thing to say, 'I'm beautiful,' without feeling like you're cocky.
My mom always told me, 'You're very smart; you're very funny.' She never told me, 'You're very beautiful.'
The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer.
The best compliment that has ever been given to me was, I was at the airport one day and a guy came in and said, 'Lionel, my wife loves you, the kids love you, my mother-in-law loves you, the family loves you.'
