Things Overheard in my Swagger Wagon

There is really no need for any other form of entertainment in our van during short trips around town like to school or soccer practice or a dentist appointment.  Not when you have awesome convos like these going on…

“Mom, is God a ghost?”

“No, bubs, he’s a spirit.”  (after saying this I realized they are kinda the same thing…)

“But where is He?”

“He’s in Heaven with the angels and saints.”

“How’d he get up there and how come we don’t see Him?”

“Because He cannot be seen.  He was here for a bit on earth in the form of Jesus.”

“Oh, cool.  And then Jesus died.”

slight pause

(from child) “That is soooo sad.”

**********************************

“Hey, Mom how do you crack your knuckles?”

“Well, you kinda do it by moving your bones around in your fingers.”

“But how?”

“I’m not sure, ask your Dad.”

****************************************

“Mom, I want to grow that little flower that my friend gave me for Valentine’s Day.”

“Okay, we can do that when we get home.”

“Mom, you HAVE to put water in it, in the little pot that is in the box and then push the seeds into the dirt or somethin'”.

“I know buddy, we’ll do it when we get home.”

“And tomorrow we’ll have purple flowers, right?”

Uh. No.

*********************************************************

“I Fah-ted!”

“Katie, you do not have to announce it every time you let out a toot.”

“But then how will you know?!”

************************************************

“Hey Mom, I want that new Ninjago Lego set, it’s the blah, blah, blah with a gold Ninja and I really want it, can I buy it Mom, can we go to Target RIGHT NOW and get it, please, Mom, please?  I really want it and it’s the last one and there will never be any others and I promise not to ask for any more Legos ever again and I’ll use my own money and can we go Mom, can we, please, please, PLEEEEAAASE?!?!?”

Or something like that.
