Abrie and Kaleb have been saying the funniest things lately. The other day Abrie and I were watching TV and a pro-active (acne med.) commercial comes on. Abrie is staring intensely at the screen...
Abrie: " mom, you need to get you some of that!"
Me: "Oh really, I do?"
Abrie: "ya mom, you do"
Me: "why do I need that?"
Abrie: "Because it would make you beautiful"
Me: "am I not beautiful right now?"
Abrie: "Well, you kinda are beautiful, but this would make you more beautiful"
I guess it really didn't help that I had a massive zit, as if it were a giant bulls eye, smack dab in the middle of my forehead.
We were at church when Abrie leans over to me with a confused look on her face...
Abrie: "mom, why do we have more than one bishop?"
Me: "honey, we don't have more than one bishop"
Abrie: "uh huh mom, yes we do. We have bishop Hood and bishopric"
We were getting ready for a make-up soccer game and I had just finished getting her little socks and shin guards on then Abrie says to me..
Abrie: "mom, aren't you going to do my make up?"
Me: "No hun, you don't need make up"
Abrie: "ya huh mom, I do need make up"
Me: "why do you need make up abrie?"
Abrie: "Because we are going to a make up soccer game!"
Now there is Kaleb. You never quite know what is going on in that little head of his. This is a prime example. We were having a family night and we were talking about be kind to our brother and sisters and friends. Nate and I were doing some role playing with the kids. We started first with abrie...Nate: "Abrie, what would you do if some one wanted something you had?"
Abrie: "I would share with them"
Nate: "that's right, very good! Ok Kaleb, what would you do if you were playing outside and someone was being rude to Abrie?"
Kaleb: (with a mean face on)"I would go outside and I would say Dylan I'm gonna hit you, and then I would hit him hard!"
Me & nate: ".....Umm ,...."
Again another family home evening. I'm beginning to wonder why we try. We are probably doing more harm then good. We were talking about the good Samaritan...
Me: "Abrie, what could you do to be a good Samaritan?"
Abrie: "I could stop on the road and I could help the man."
Me: "that's right, and Kaleb what could you do to be a good Samaritan?"
Kaleb: (again with his mean face) "I could pull out my guns and I could shoot him .." as he pulls out his fingers and makes pretend machine guns out of them accompanied with the sound effects and everything.and again,
Me & nate: "....umm,...."
