Through the Eyes of Our Children

*  Chloe came back from swimming at the Y with her daddy.  Well she disappeared.  I found that her bedroom door was closed.  I told Chad that was strange and that he should check on her.  .  .                                                       
Knock knock.  Door opens.  "Chloe what are you eating?"  "Chicken?  Where did you get chicken?"  She points behind a picture frame on her dresser.  WHAT???  Where?  When?  How?  The last time Chloe had chicken fingers was 2 days ago from Sonic.  OH MY GOODNESS!!!   Salmonella Poisoning????
Well it has been a couple of days know and she seems to have no side effects.:)  But it is stories like this, that we encounter every week.  I should write them down more often so that I do not forget but I do not.  Anyway, Mommies, check behind your picture frames.

  • "Ian, it is time to take a nap"  "I am full of sleep."

  • "Mommy, Jesus washes people's feet because their feet have a little bit of sin." (What Ian got from today's sermon 2-10-07)

  • My friend Kristy LOVES this story.  I still get embarrassed thinking about it.
Ian, Chloe, and I had a almost made a successful trip to WalMart.  We were is the check out line.  There was a lady in front of us checking out.  These were the thought going through my head . . . wow that is really large, pants are WAY too tight, looks like something from Saturday Night Live . . . When Chloe brought me back to earth with her comment . . . "Mommy her buddy is Super Big!"  I turned around and dropped down to my knees to get on Chloe's level and to avoid making eye contact with the lady.  I began to explain to Chloe that was not nice words to say and that those words could hurt the ladie's feelings.  How can I be correcting my daughter when these EXACT things were going through my head.  I could not stand up till the lady left.
So did my daughter learn something from this experience or was God teaching me a lesson through my daughter?
