Kids say the darndist things...

Tonight after bath time the usual insanity set in. For some reason every time they get out of the bath and into their jammies - they go wild. It makes no sense... but it happens. Anyways, I was trying to calm them down. We read a few books, but that didn't last long. Then I finally said, "Will you guys calm down?? Why are you so crazy???" Then Mariah runs into the room and says, "Mom. You want to know why we're so crazy? It's because we're following our dreams. We're following our dreams Mom."

Oh. Well that explains that then.

Kids Say the Darndest Things...

Mariah and I were in our office and I had just made up the couch. She was playing pirates or something (who knows what it was...) and asked if she could mess up the couch. "No thank you" I said. "Please can I mess up the couch?!" she asks again. "No." "Just let me do what I want to do..." "I said no, Mariah." Pause. "Well Jesus said that you have to let me do what I want." Muffled laughter from me. Then I went on to explain that we shouldn't pretend to be Jesus and that He sent her to me to be her Mommy and help her.

Is she too smart for her own good or what? What four-year-old comes up with this kind of idea?!? I have to give her credit though... she got a good laugh out of me. And I had to share it, it was too good not to.
