What’s Ugly? Daddy

My son asked me what ugly meant.  We encountered the word when we read Shrek.  I must admit that it took me by surprise.  How do you explain what ugly means to a four – year old?  When I thought about it, I realized that ugly has no real meaning.  Everyone is different and no one is ugly.  I told him that it was a great question to ask, and we need to find out more information about it.  I copped out,  I admit.  As he matures , we will find out the answers if possible to his questions.
