We were sitting at the dinner table the other night (me and the kids), and sometimes the kids will ask if they can say prayer before dinner. This night Chase had asked. He’s too cute when he prays because he squeezes his eyes shut as hard as he can. Then, when he starts to pray he’ll say, “thank you for the food”, but then he usually gets stuck on what to say next. So he’ll mumble something we can’t hear or just say a couple words. Well this particular night, he said, “thank you for the food” and then was taking quite a while to say anything else. So being the not so patient brother, Julian exclaims loudly while firmly putting his fists on the table, “I don’t have time for this!!” HAHAHA!
The other day I was sitting at my computer (hours of work) and it was right after nap. I heard Chase on the porch playing and then as I hear him coming towards me, I hear crinkling sounds of a bag. I knew he must have found some sort of snack in the cupboard on the porch. As he comes into the dinning room, he has his hands behind his back and he looks at me with this suspicious smile. Before I can say anything, he says loudly, “Nothing Mommy!!” HAHAHAHA! I could not help but just laugh out loud! He could use a little work on the poker face.
Humor certainly does ‘lighten the load’…..and children certainly give plenty of humor.
ROFL….
