Top Ten: Outta the Mouths of Babes
I am excited to tell you about what God is impressing on my heart for this New Year!
But first...it's definitely time for a laugh. I'm so glad God authored laughter. It can be a tired Mom's best friend; even Proverbs 17:22 agrees that a merry heart is like good medicine. Do you need a dose?
Here's what's been keeping my smile on during the past week of sick kids, sleepless nights, back to school chaos and the January blahs:
Top Ten: Strange Things Said in Our House Last Month
10) "The book of Numbers is about the Wilderness Wanderings and a few other stories. Like Balaam and Ass. That's the donkey's name I think: Ass." -Molly (recounting what she learned at school)
9) "Tilly, when it comes to chewing gum, our house is Singapore." - my husband Ryan
8) "Mom, how come you're so awesome?" - Molly (aka: the new favorite after that comment)
7) "A weird lady in Starbucks just hugged me" - text from my husband (a non-fan of PDA: even from strangers)
6) Molly: "Mom, is this coin Canadian or American?"
Me: "Look on the back. Is it the Queen's head or the President's?"
Molly: "That's Obama?!!!!!"
5) "Tilly, I shouldn't even have to say 'don't put cheese in your pocket!'" - the husband (apparently a non-fan of cheese in pockets, not to mention gum and PDA from weird huggy ladies in Starbucks)
4) "But Dad, it's a treasure...I have to keep it!" - Tilly (in response to #5)
3) "Mom, I think there was too much cheese on the pizza, because my foot really hurts." - Henry (suddenly cheese is a big time offender!)
2) "Honey, I'm just going to get some of the chicken out of the car's carpet...I'll be right back" - the husband (are you seeing a germ/mess-a-phobic trend here?)
aaaaaaaand...
1) "Hey Mom, when you put a shell up to your ear, you can hear the toilet." - Henry
