Fun with kids

One of my favorite Jack Handy quotes is "The face of a child can say it all- especially the mouth part of the face."

A few nights ago I was putting Carolyn to bed. In the middle of her prayer, she sits up and says, "Wait, I gotta bless somebody. Mom told me about... Never mind, I don't remember."

I then escorted Carolyn to her bed, tucked her in, and leaned over to get a hug. I had shaved my head just a few hours before. She reached her arms around my neck and said "Good night, Daddy. Where's your hair?"

Carolyn is very much like her Grammy (Beth's Mom). We saw Grammy the next day and the first thing she asked me was, "Rob, where's your hair?" I forgot it in my other pants.

One morning I heard the kids playing in another room. I heard Seth say, "Get in the bag." At first I was concerned- kids and plastic bags don't mix- but I decided to keep listening. He kept insisting, "Get in the bag," and I heard Carolyn disagreeing. It sounded to me like he was telling Carolyn to climb into his sleeping bag. He then stuffed a balloon into the sleeping bag and said, "There, see? There's a balloon in the bag. It's a party. There's a party in the bag. Get in the bag." I was grateful that I was in another room so that they couldn't hear my laughter.
