I have one by my toe of all places. My oldest daughter had a big one on her tummy. I used to tell her that God kissed her there before giving her to me. My middle daughter has one on her leg and so I told her the same thing. Well my youngest doesn't have one and my assurances to my other daughters back fired on me because my youngest one wanted to know why God didn't kiss her. I told her that he did he kissed her heart instead of on her skin because she was so special. Got me out of that one*L* So do you have a birth mark? Where is it?

Ah that is such a sweet thing to tell your daughters! I will have to tell that one to my younger cousin, as she has one on the end of her toe, and she is really self conscious about it!
I have one right on the inside of my thigh... where only my boyfriend sees... so God would have had to have kissed my heart too lol! I've also got one on my tummy, it's below my bellybutton, but it's not too prominent, it only comes out in the sun. My mother once referred to it as a 'spud-mark'... but I'm not really sure what that means! :o)

Yes I do have a birth mark. But it is not clear to me if it is really a birth mark or just a scarce because it is just very small. Oh thats a good idea that God kiss first those who have birth mark.

What a lovely way to handle something that could have a negetive affect on a child. I don't have any birth marks nor do any of my family. After reading your way of handling thme I wish we had some so I ciuld tell them that that was where God gave them a kiss too.

Yes, i got this white birthmark just below my left eye. When i get so tanned from being exposed under the sun too long when we go to beaches, it is very prominent. It is the only area in my face that stays white. It's not very big patch, just about half an inch. It's not very evident now that i got fair skin.
I also got one on the back of my right hand, its a light brown patch of skin and 3 times the size of my white birthmark. It doesn't bother me. But i guess, if the brown birth mark is on my face instead of the small one one, i might have self esteem issue.

That is the sweetest thing to tell your daughters that is where God kissed them:)
I have a birth mark on the back of my neck. It is one of those red splochy marks~ not too pretty, but my hair covers it. My daughter has the same mark in the same place.

Hello TriciaW! I do have a birth mark, it is on my left leg shaped as a tiny island.
But the real facinating thing is, I have a fraternal twin brother who has the same exact birth mark on the lower left side of his back!
It is weird, but we are twins:)

I have a huge birthmark at the top of my right leg, it is like a huge freckle and it really stands out, when ever I wore bathers when I was younger people would say oh yuck what is that and I used to get really embarrassed but now if I go swimming I wear board shorts and that covers it up so I am not so self conscious about it

I have 4, I got one of them from my mother as we share the same one it is right below my butt check. Then I have one on by rib cage as so does my son, my daughter however does not have any. I was thankful that one has disappeared as I have grown up and the other one is right above my knee.

Oh, good save with your youngest.
I had a birth mark when I was a baby. It was next to one of my eyes, it was just a little brown mark. Each night when my dad got home from work he would kiss me on that mark (so I am told) and he called it his brown sugar spot. One day he went to kiss me and it wasn't there anymore. So the story in my family was that I had a birthmark and my dad kissed it away.

My husband has a large brown birthmark on his back. It's probably about the size of a quarter. His mom says it's because she craved Slim Jims her whole pregnancy, and she ate so many of them, he now has a "slim jim" on his back. Pretty funny.
She must have eaten A LOT of them because my four year old has one too. :)
I used to have a light lilac purple one on the back of my neck, but it faded after my childhood.
