join the conversation

As we drove to church today, we passed a house for sale that has been drastically updated.  Steve and I were both commenting on how great it looks.  The only part we don’t like are these huge grecian statues they put out front.  They don’t make any sense and are just too big.

My husband and I were coming up with other things that would look better. Flower baskets, lights, even a lion would look better.

From the backseat (and out of left field) comes my four year old’s idea.

“I think baby seahorses would look great floating around there.”

What?  We didn’t even realize he had been listening to our conversation.  

I think he really thought this was a million dollar idea.  And he was quite proud of himself for adding to the conversation.

Just another sign that our kids are always listening - and a reminder to watch what we say.

 

“My cat’s breath smells like cat food.” Quote from Ralph, the slow kid from the Simpsons, when he is trying to have an intellectual discussion with Lisa.  Just another kid just trying to join the conversation.
