I want to know what the silliest thing your kid or kids did today was.
Mine is my 4 year old son. My dad was blessing the meal, and my son was watching and giggling. Afterwards, my son asked me 'mommy, who was grampa talking to in his hands?'
OMG! I about died laughing! I told him maybe grampa had a mouse!
Ok this wasn't this year but a few years ago. We were saying the blessing over the meal and my nephew, about 6 at the time, wanted to say his piece. he did and then the other one, 4, wanted his turn. It went like this: "Dear Jesus bless this food, and bless my aunt and bless my gramma, and bless the cats and bless the dogs and thank you Jesus for naps"
Well, it was last night.... my 13 yr. old daughter told my younger children at supper that if they go to bed earlier, then Christmas will come sooner.
At 6:30, my 5 yr. old finished his last bite of food, jumped down from the table, ran by me yelling: "Good night Mom!" When was the last time a 5 yr. old went to bed early and was excited to do so?
Last year my son was turning 9, and on his birthday I recall realizing that in 9 more years, he'd be an adult in college. I said to him, "Your childhood is half over."
He immediately called my mother and crying, "Nee! Mama says my life is half over!!!"
