I promise to obey

Meagan came home from church with a cute little card she'd colored. On the back it said, "I promise to obey my parents." I was thinking, "That sounds good to me!" I thought I'd reinforce her lesson, and asked her what it meant to obey your parents. In a very confident voice she said, "It means you can pray and read your stories and color in the morning and sleep well." Yeah, so much for that lesson.

Then a few minutes later, she said, "If you get in the water, your dress will get all baptized."

At dinner she offered this nugget of wisdom: "Jesus said we should share our toys, and then someone else will be happy." I notice she didn't say she would be happy.

I guess she's picking a few things up, if not quite right.

It probably goes along with their version of the nativity :)

We had one of our nursery boys add a body part to the Head Shoulders Knees and Toes song yesterday. He obviously wanted a reaction, so we ignored it, and hopefully the other kids didn't go home and sing the revised version to their parents. He's going to be a handful when he's a teenager-he's only three!
