Laney was telling me how excited she was about Christmas coming. I suspected why that was. I reminded her that Christmas is about celebrating Jesus and His love for us. About spending time with family, decorating and baking yummy goodies to eat. Looking at houses all decorated for Christmas, and time off from school. She listened patiently, and then replied, "Well, that's what grownups say, but all kids really care about is the presents."
Not one of my proudest parenting moments. Shall I give her credit for honesty???
Literally two seconds later, Jude, who was sitting beside Laney at the table during this exchange, said, "Hey mama, why did the chicken cross the road?"
I said, "Why Jude?"
He said, "So he could get to the other side."
I laughed and said, "Is that funny, Jude?"
He totally deadpanned, and replied, "No, not really." Serious as can be. I wish you could have seen his face...
