Funny things my daughter said this month, She told a neighbor, “We are growing Oprah in our garden.” Her belly growled before breakfast and she said, “Did you hear me purr?” I was bathing her and she said, “Mom you be Sandy (our friend) and I’ll be Foofey (her cat). We had a conversation for 15 min. in English and in Meow. She really thought I understood meow. She spontaneously hopped out of the tub and I said, “What are you doing?” She said, “Mom, cats don’t take baths they clean themselves!” It was like a no duh mom comment. She then proceeded to lick her paws- crazy kid. The first time we met with our new neighbor a few weeks ago Payton looked up at this mom of two and said, “You’re BIG!” I was mortified. The lady replied, “Thank you.” (She hasn’t talked to us since). I was relaying this embarrassing story to Luc and Payton tells him, “Dad, she was a big momma bear.” We just laughed. J Her vocabulary amazes me sometimes, At the in-laws she was playing with the kittens and they paused from playing and she said, “I think they are concentrating.” We picked a cucumber in our garden and she said, “This is enormous!” We were watching a show and she told us, “This is very interesting.” Her alertness and keen understanding amazes me… One night during bed time prayer, she prayed her usually prayer which begins with, “Heavenly Father, we pray the blood of Jesus, keep no harm and danger around us…and then she proceeds to pray about whatever happened that day. She prayed, “God help me to be nice to that sweet boy Dietrich, help me to be a good friend. And don’t let me hit him. Amen” Another prayer she prayed after I cut my hair, “God please help mom’s hair to grow back, please don’t let that lady cut her hair again. I’m sorry for saying that my mom looked funny. Amen.” |
