Kids Say the Darndest Things
Last weekend, Elly (6) told me she was getting out of school on Monday for “King Lutheran Day”. Not sure I heard her correctly, I asked her, “Tell me that again. Why are you getting out of school on Monday?” She was surprised by my ignorance and emphatically responded “For King Lutheran Day! Don’t you know what that is?”
That same weekend, I took the girls out to the mall to get a new swimsuit for Anna. Elly, who already has two swimsuits, was upset that she didn’t get a new one like her older sister. She told me, “I wish I could lose my swimsuits so I could get a new one like Anna.” Confessions of a future shopaholic.
Jonathan (8) was telling Micah (7) that he needed to spend some time with his grandparents so he could get some manners. Micah, not missing a beat, said in a deadpan voice, “I have manners. I just don’t use them.”
