That's a good question...

On the way to Lowe's today, out of the blue:

Ade: "Daddy, why does Jesus make mean people - like pirates, and bad guys and stuff?"

Sweet...

We were on the way to the store to get some ice-cream tonight:

Ade: "Does ice cream have sugar?"

Dad: "Definitely."

Ade: "YESSSSSSS!"

Too many compliments?

Dad: "Nice job. You're awesome."

Ade, matter of factly: "I know."

And a few days ago....

Ade: "You're the awesomest, and I'm the smartest."

At least I'm the awesomest, I guess.

Bird Olympics

It's a cold morning. So cold that the bird bath froze over.

Ade: "Is that ice?" - touching the frozen water.

Me: "Yep."

Ade: "Now the birds can ice-skate!"

Sun, Moon, and Me

From Nana: The other day Ade told me, "Isn't it cool that the clouds and the sun and the moon do whatever God wants them to do?" So I of course said - "Yeah, I guess WE should do what God wants us to do too, right?" Then he sighed and said - "Yeah, I guess so."

The eyes have it

Mom has Ade convinced that God has given her special powers to know when he is being naughty. The other day, she caught him doing something he wasn't supposed to...

Ade: "It's a bummer you have special eyes."

Prince Charming King Game

Ade: "Can I play the Prince-Charming-King-Game?"

Me: "You're going to have to show me which game that is."

Ade: "It's in my closet, hold me up."

Me, lifting him up high into his closet: "Which one?"

Ade, pointing to a board game: "This one, the Prince-Charming-King-Game."

Me: "You mean Monopoly? He does look like a Prince-Charming-King, doesn't he?"
