Wisdom of 3 year olds

  • Scene: Aaron's Baptism. Robb decides to hold Kelbre and cousin Brady on his lap during a lull in the ceremony and starts to read to them "Clifford." He only gets through a page or so before he has to stop to finish the confirmation. No sooner does the closing prayer end, Brady stands before everyone and yells, "Now.......... Clifford!
  • Scene: The middle of church. Kelbre is restless and so I decide to break out the book of bible stories to keep her quiet. The first story she sees, of course, is Adam and Eve and the creation. All of a sudden she starts yelling "mom, she forgot her clothes!" "Look mom, she needs clothes!" No matter how hard I try to move on to another story, she keeps forcing it back to that one.
  • Scene: Making Tortillas in the kitchen. I stick my hands into the dough to mix the ingredients. Kelbre starts yelling, "Momma you gotta wash your hands." "Oh, no! Wash your hands!" Then I dump the mixture out on the counter to kneed the dough and she yells "Oh no, put it back in the bowl mom! It goes IN the bowl!"
