Out of the Mouths of Babes

Children can say some funny things. I just want to share a funny and a sweet thing that two of mine recently uttered.

The other day, Trent, my 5 year old, was sitting by me reading when he stopped and asked me, "Mom, how old are you?"

"Thirty-three," I answered.

After a brief pause, Trent asked, "Mom, how old is Dad?"

"Thirty-eight," I replied.

After another brief pause, Trent asked his final question. "Mom, do you know any other really old people?"



Recently, we have had way more rain in our part of the state than normal. With it have come some decent thunderstorms. During one early morning thunderstorm there was a loud clap of thunder that woke up the girls. They came out to the living room looking for me. I reassured them and then sent them back to their beds since it was too early for them to be up yet. As they were walking away I heard Paige, my 4 year old, bend down and tell Reese, my 2 year old, "Don't be scared, Reese. God is always with us."
