Following the Father

May always seems to be a busy month, and this May is no exception! My poor site has been woefully neglected of late because of it. Short posts are better than no posts I always say have recently determined, so that is what this one will be!

My youngest sister always makes life interesting so I'll just give you a few quotes of hers from today.

I'm walking through the living room when Mercy calls out quite loudly, "There's a father long leg in our house!"

Samuel said in his very big brotherly way, "You mean father long legs?" (emphasis on the plural) I was just going to let it go and store in my funny memories but with that

know-it-all tone from my highly intelligent little brother I couldn't help but turn around and say, "You're wrong too." and continue on my projected path toward my room. Never one to pass up information he followed me and demanded to know what the name really was. I told him... and that was that.

"Mommy!" The call came echoing down the hallway from the bathroom.

"What!" came the call back.

"There's no placemat on the floor!"

Right after that last quote Mercy asked Mommy, "Were cars invented before houses?"

It is times like that when my poor homeschooling mother needs to just plug her ears and hum Jesus Loves Me.

I won't bother mentioning all the times I've embarrassed her about the things I don't know.

Blessings!
