WWMD?

Conversation in car with the above large-eyed 6-year old

aspiring saint:

"Mom, I am so nice. I would protect anybody. I'm so nice to my friends."

me: "That is so good. Its important to be kind to others. We should be nice and love everybody. That's what Jesus taught us."

him: (a pause) "I want to be like Moses."

me (giggling): "What? Moses?"

him: "Yeah, Moses."

me: "What do you mean?"

him: "You know, when Moses saw that Egyptian whipping that old lady, he went over and grabbed that Egyptian. He squoze his neck with his arm until he couldn't breathe. I would do that. If that didn't work, I would bite him. If that didn't work, I would scratch him all over. If you hadn't cut my fingernails last night, I would be ready."

Contemplative silence from both of us.

me: "I can see how you would want to be like Moses."

For Christmas, I think I'll get him a reminder bracelet.

Instead of saying WWJD? (What would Jesus do?) it would say:

WWMD?

Funny or Unusual Things My Kids Have Said

March 2012 - D'artagnan was holding our daughter with her head on his chest. He was telling her how much he loves her. "You make my heart sing," he said. "Can you hear it?" Sugar Princess answered, "...sounds more like your stomach."

Aramis has started reading chapter books and is taking them everywhere. We always tell him he will get carsick if he reads them in the car. He and I went to the store. I told him he could bring his book in and read it. I would just put him in the cart. He looked up at me with such concern, "If I read in the cart, won't I get cartsick?"

D'Artagnan was feeling really ill. He could not shake this cold he had. He said, "I think I have pneumonia." A worried Athos looked at him and sincerely said, "Dad, maybe you should go in for an autopsy."

Athos asked, around 8:00pm, if it was correct to say "Buenos Tardes" or "Buenos Noches," because it was getting dark. We went back and forth discussing it for awhile before Porthos just looked at us and said, "I would just say Buenos Aires."

Porthos built a little man out of his Fritos chips tonight. There was a bunch of fritos around the middle. He said, "Look, Mom, my guy, has girdles about his loins."

1st son "Wouldn't it be great if you were born one minute before the start of the millenium?"

2nd son "I used to imagine that when I was in your tummy,
I was naked and sitting in a big chair by a fire, reading a book."

Daughter "I have indian breath." (instead of onion breath)

2nd son "Can I please watch Jane Eyre tonight?"

1st son "The kids at school don't know anything. They don't
even know who Howard Keel is." 2nd son "My favorite songs in order are 1) Copacabana (Barry Manilow) 2) Good Vibrations (Beach Boys) and 3) any by Cat Stevens."
1st son "My favorite songs in order are 1) Fernando (Abba) 2) Baracuda (Heart) and 3) California Girls (Beach Boys)
NOW THAT IS SOME TASTE IN MUSIC!!!!!!
daughter, age 4- (playing Angel Gabriel in the nativity play) "Fear Not! Behold, I bring joy to all the people in the city of David! There's a Savior! He's Christ the Lord!"
