He gives me these funny poses,
and goofy smiles.


Friday is my cleaning day, usually punk #1 has a hard time getting her jobs done. Friday she did really well, stayed on task and worked quickly.
After she was done she said “Mom I know why it is important for kids to clean.”
“Why,” I asked
“So when the kids grow up and have houses of their own to keep clean we will have developed good cleaning strategies.”

A few days ago she said to Dadzoo
“Life is a test, and repentance is like correcting the mistakes we make on our test.”
“Yes, that is exactly right,” Dadzoo said.
Then she said “Isn’t that nice of Heavenly Father to let us do that.”
Yes, it sure it
That is my 9 year old,
The Thinker.
Good luck kid
Figuring the world out….
Anyway
“Mama I knowed why Sawa had blood comin‘ outta her foot.”
“Why?”
“‘Cause she’d have too much blood in her foot and it leakeded out….knowed how I knowed ‘dat?”
“Cause I berry smart, I hab a gweat big bwrain in my head….it knowed lots of stuff.”

Later that day she was throwing a major, major fit, and I trying to be a loving Christ-like mother said to her, very calmly:
“Honey, is this how Heavenly Father would like you to talk to me?”
In total exasperation, with her face red and hair flying she throws up her arms and yells
“I not knowed what He said, He not talked to me! I not heaw His boice!”
I couldn’t stop laughing!
