Jalisa in Pennsylvania shared the following four quotes from her two children, Sheri, 4, and Matthew, 2 1/2:
Once Sheri asked me if "angels have legs?" and if "chickens like to swim?"
One evening Sheri and I were talking about Heaven etc. She was wondering if her dresses are going to burn and the floor and various things (from a former conversation).... I told her "yes, but we’ll be going up to Heaven and we won’t need these things any more." And that we’ll be seeing Jesus and Heaven and we won’t see it burning. I told her Jesus will have a new long white dress for her! She was excited about that! (She had told me before already that she wants to go to Heaven and I told her she must wait until Jesus tells her it’s her turn.) A little later she told me, "I’m waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting..." And when I asked her for what...she promptly said, "to go to Heaven!"
Matthew has a very broad vocabulary and it’s quite interesting to listen! After we caught a mouse in a trap in our family room, Matthew’s imagination was sparked! One evening he was pretending... "Mou’e in heah... lil peanut butter.... ‘nap it....no mou’e" !! (Mouse in here...little peanut butter...snap it....no mouse)
Upon seeing a picture of an idol in a Bible story book, Matthew said, "No like idol in my house!" It made me think! Of course we don’t like idols in our homes... or do we? Out of the mouth of babes....
From Jean in Pennsylvania, "Grandma" to 14 and soon to be a "Great-Grandma" to 9:I had promised my 3 year old great-granddaughter, Aubree, that we would have a tea party the next time she comes. I didn't have too much time to prepare a fancy tea party. So I explained that we were having hot chocolate, but would pretend it was tea! Then we had doughnut holes, to go with it. Aubree looked at them a bit, and asked, "Are these real?"
Brenda in Virginia is "Nana" to 17 month old Ryan Elizabeth, and I am called "Grammie." Since we grandparents don't get to see her very often, being rather far away, Ryan has just learned to say our names. "Nana" spent Christmas with Ryan's family and just last week she was learning to call Brenda, "Nana." My daughter told me how Ryan Elizabeth called Brenda "Nana," then walked over to the kitchen, peeked around the corner and looked at the bananas! At least once Ryan even pronounced a "B" in front of "Nana" as she said Brenda's name. Talk about the English language being confusing! ~ Lois
