Madoosa Member Registered: 02/20/11 Posts: 710 Loc: South Africa	Last week in the bath Nathan (5) insisted that I get in with him. I felt flattered as he usually likes his quiet alone bath time to regroup before bedtime story routine altogether. So I complied feeling very smug until he made me sit and stand about 35 times over while he measured the water levels. He was figuring out displacement after reading about it online and in a book he has and I was the test subject as I could clearly displace more water than his little body could.

Cue a discussion about the soul and spiritual healing. As a young child, I always wondered why we never went sewing with the priest: Priest: May the peace of the Lord be with you all Everyone: And I'll sew with you.

My dad says he always thought, "Herald be thy name" was actually, "Harold be thy name." He said his parents finally caught on one day when they asked him who Jesus' father was, and he said Harold matter-of-factly. _________________________ What is to give light must endure burning.

Cassmo451 Member Registered: 09/09/13 Posts: 109 Loc: Missouri	Originally Posted By: Mana DD3.10 was talking in her sleep and said: "Possibly implicated. Most likely guilty." I don't know what she's been reading. Oh maybe this goes along with my DD9 discussing, in her sleep very angrily, "The ice cream is all gone, Johnny ate it all." I still don't know who Johnny is but if our children's minds are linked in their sleep I think we are all in trouble! _________________________ Cassie "Imperfections in our journey were what made it perfect."-Ewan McGregor

I could hear it in the voice of my DD8 because it is absolutely the type of argument she would make. Absolutely. It made me chuckle, as well. _________________________ Schrödinger's cat walks into a bar. And doesn't.

It was a book on science something or other - I'm not sure, he doesn't like to show me all his library books as then I ask if I can read with/to him and apparently I read too slowly. _________________________ Mom to 3 gorgeous boys: Aiden (8), Nathan (7) and Dylan (4)
