Here's a few snippets of real conversations I had with a few of my kids this week:
Claire: Mommy, will you give me my cup of ice water?
Me: Where is your cup?
Claire (being completely sweet and sincere): Oh, I haven't ordered it yet. Will you get me a cup of ice water, please?
Well, it works at McDonalds, right?
Yesterday, in a conversation with Grace (my child of many deep thoughts):
Grace: Mommy, I think that there is food in Heaven.
Me: Really?
Grace: Yes, I think they eat bread and grape juice.
Well, makes since to me.
And in yet another conversation with my sweet and sassy 7 year old, I was reminded of how much little ones learn from their friends. Shudder at the thought.
Hannah (speaking of a neighbor girl who she considers her BFF): Mom, she's my sister from another mister!
WHAT?!?!? I suppose I will soon have to explain the intricacies of that statement. Soon, but not today. :)
