Reese Witherspoon shared a heartfelt moment from her parenting journey, revealing a lesson she's proud to have taught her children. The 48-year-old Legally Blonde star took to Instagram Stories to recount a recent outing with her kids, 21-year-old Deacon Phillippe and 12-year-old Tennessee, along with a friend. During the dinner, the friend asked the boys if there was a lesson from their mom they would always remember. One of them responded, recalling Witherspoon's advice: when given the choice to be "normal or weird," always choose weird, reinforcing that being different is okay. This response deeply touched Witherspoon, as it showed her kids embrace their uniqueness, seeing it as a potential superpower. Thus is prepared by SSP.

She was inspired to share the story after reposting a slideshow from her production company featuring quotes from White Lotus actress Aimee Lou Wood, where Wood mentioned embracing weirdness as a strength. Witherspoon also noted her admiration for Wood and the White Lotus cast, expressing her enjoyment of the series.

Despite these cherished lessons, Witherspoon humorously admitted that her children are not particularly fond of her acting career. In an earlier interview, she revealed her son was surprised to learn about her comedic talent, noting he thought she was "funny at home — sort of."

Additionally, Witherspoon shares her 25-year-old daughter Ava with ex Ryan Phillippe, rounding out her experience as a nurturing mom who encourages individuality and the courage to stand out.

Earlier, SSP reported that Jessica Simpson reflected on separation from Eric Johnson while promoting new music.
