High Aspirations
Asa (4): What’s College?
Mama: It’s where you go to keep learning.
Daddy: It’s like school except you have to pay for it.
Asa: Bah! I’m never going to college
later in the conversation
Hosea (4): I’m going to live at home for-evaaaah
What are you trying to say?
We hear a rumble that shakes the earth.
Mama: “Wow. What was that?”
Boaz (2) “The trash man.”
Mama: “Maybe.”
Hosea (4): “I think it was Daddy.”
Super fast, super smart
Hosea: “Spiders are really slow. I’m super fast.”
Mama: “So you could outrun a spider?”
Hosea: “Yeah.”
Jadon (8): “But you couldn’t outrun a tsunami.”
Just a typical dinner conversation
Mama: “Wow! Everybody has gas tonight!”
Hosea: “Sometimes I have so much gas I get boogers in my nose. And I get them all out in the daytime, and I don’t know how, but they come back while I’m sleeping.”
No one likes whining. Except someone does.
Mama: “Thank you for doing your lesson, Hosea. Next time do you think you could do it without whining?”
Hosea: “No.”
Me: “Why not?”
Hosea: “Because I like whining.”
We’re confused about chores
Mama: “What were your jobs last week?”
Jadon: “Tooting in people’s faces so they laugh really hard.”
We’ve got prayer time covered
Jadon: “Dear God, please help all the endangered animals and help my family have a good time tomorrow. Oh, and please let Mama have more brothers and sisters.”
Asa (5): “Dear God, please help all the dangerous stuffed animals, and please heal all the women who are sick.”
