Taking His Words

This conversation happened on the way home from dinner last night:

Phillip: Mommy, did you see that boy in the garage?
Me: Yes, I did.
Phillip: You did? You saw that boy in the garage?
Me: Yes, I saw the man in the garage.
Phillip: Daddy, did you see that boy in the garage?
Chris: No, I didn't.
Phillip: No? You didn't see the boy in the garage?

Chris: No, but I take your word for it.

Phillip: Huh?
Chris: I take your word for it. I believe you.
Phillip: Word? Believe? You?
Chris: I believe there was a man in the garage even though I didn't see it. I take your word for it.
Phillip: How you take my words for? (He still says how for why.)
Hilarious laughter from Chris and I.
Phillip: Don't take my words Daddy.
More laughter by Chris and I.
Phillip: Daddy, How are you laughing for?
Chris: Because you're funny.
Phillip: Mommy, how are you laughing for?
Me: Because you make me laugh.
Phillip: How you take my words for?
More laughter by everyone in the car.

Aren't they just precious how they take everything so literally? See ya later alligator...

Amen!

This conversation happened last Sunday as we were turning onto the road that leads to our church:

Phillip: "Why do we come to church?"

Me: "Because it's Sunday."

Phillip: "Because it's Sunday?"

Me: "Not just because it's Sunday. We come to worship God and thank Him for everything He's done for us."

Andrew: "AMEN!"

I guess he thought we were praying or he's going to be a very charismatic church goer! It was too funny and had us all laughing hyserically while we parked and walked into church.

See ya later alligator...

In Loving Memory

Hi. I apologize for not having posted in so long. We very unexpectedly lost my Dad a few weeks ago, and I just honestly haven't felt like posting lately.
