Set Your Sights On Things Above
We so quickly get our eyes off God. Let's get back into

Comic reliefThere are times when kids say stuff. They say things that will make you cringe, cry, and crash all at once. Like one time, our 7 year old daughter turned to the infamous 9 year old John, and said, "Do you know who keeps our neighborhoods safe?" (no, I don't know why she was asking a question like that, but I swear she was - it was weird, but hey, what do you expect.)
John answered, "Of course, it's the police. What, did you think it was just some guy named Steve?" (As if no police are ever named Steve) So we live near Burbank, California, and on the way to church we have a clear view of the WB watertower - the one featured in Animaniacs where Yacko, Wacko and their sister Dot have 'lived' for years. (It's a cartoon - a favorite of our family) Dot's tag line was that she was the 'cute one.' So tonight we're driving down the road looking at that water tower, and Tricia - Miss 7 year old - turns to me and says, "Look! It's the Warner Brothers Water Tower!" With a flourish, she began putting on a pair of sunglasses and said, "I'm Dot, 'cuz I'm the cute one!" And then there's John - again. Today he comes in the kitchen and says, "Hey! I just made a new world's record." (Did I want to know the rest?) So I said, "Oh, great! In what?" "Not gagging on peanut butter sandwiches in my entire life." Yes, that was his world record event. NOT ever having gagged on his pb&j's.... weird, huh? He wasn't done. "Yea mom, I only gag on your food - not ever on a pb&j." "Oh well, good to know, Johnboy." Got any funnies from your kids to share for the holidays? |
