The Five of Us, Spring 2014
Wee Wisdom
Pea's preschool class did a unit on dinosaurs last week. Each student did an "oral report" which the teach wrote down for them. Pea's reads, "Dinosaurs eat meat. They are big. They chew Bubble Gum." She cannot be dissuaded. *grins*
We were driving along a dandelion-laden median when Punk announced, "I'm gonna pick ALLLLLL those flowers and give them to God. Because God is a lover." (To be fair, this is the chorus of a worship song I play sometimes.)
Saturday morning, A told the kiddinkidinks that we'd be going to our friends, the Blacks, for dinner that night. A couple hours later, Punk asked, "Who's house are we going to? I can't remember their name.... Is it... Is it... the Darks?" We went over this 3 or 4 more times before he threw up his hands and declared, "I just can't remember that! I'm just gonna call them the Darks!"
