Lauren telling her friend, Mary: So, I made those chocolate cookies, and Savannah (3) asked me who taught me to make them. I told her Mary did, and she replied, "OH MY WORD! Jesus' mommy made cookies with you when you were a kid?" ~ Lauren in Virginia
My 5-year-old is practicing his blossoming reading skills everywhere we go. We were driving through town recently when he exclaimed with a gasp, "No 'P' words are allowed on this street!" (He saw a 'No Parking' sign with the 'P' crossed out!) ~ Jaime in Pennsylvania
My grandson, Austin (4) told me, "Grammy, I'm going to heaven because I asked Jesus in my heart." I told him, " I was about your age when I asked Jesus into my heart. I knew that I did bad things and Jesus died on the cross to take my discipline, and He came alive so I could go to heaven to be with Him someday." To which Austin replied, "We can be in heaven together. But first you have to go to a nursing home because you're pretty old like my great grandma." ~ Linda in Pennsylvania
Earlier this evening when I was putting Samantha (6) to bed, she asked me, "Mommy, when you were a little girl, was the world black and white?" I asked if she meant as in black and white TV. She said, "No, like in the Old Testament and there wasn't any color.? Just how old does this child think that her mother is?!?!? :) ~ Amanda in Virginia
I spent the morning playing Legos with my boys. Then when I answered Levi's (7) question of when Lego's were invented, I told him in the early 60's before his dad and I were born. Levi's response - "Oh, yeah. Back in Colonial days, or was that Civil War days?" ! ~ Lisa in Virginia
When Josh was 4 or 5, Roger and I were downstairs ordering Christmas presents on the computer. He started calling for us and crying. When we let him come downstairs, he told us he was "sore afraid" because he couldn't find us. ~ Lisa in Virginia
My mother-in-law just happened to be at our home when I went into labor with Joshua 13 years ago ( Dec. 1997). She told me what happened while I was in the hospital and she was home with 4 year old Sarah. Sarah was always playing dress up, so when she came down the hall with clothes hangers all over her and trailing behind her, Nana asked her " Well, who are you?" Sarah said, " Don't ask me who I am. Ask me who I WAS. In my former life, I was your partner, Jacob Marley." Nana got a big kick out of that, since she had just read Sarah "A Christmas Carol" ~ Lisa in Virginia
