I wanted to record some things that my kids say that I find funny/humorous/entertaining. Mostly before I forget.
On God:
Ansley and I are doing our daily devotional together, and we are discussing how God never sleeps.
A: NEVER?
M: Nope. Never. He is always watching over His children.
A: Well, He must be pretty grumpy then!
--
On Jesus:
Christian points to a picture of him hanging on the wall when he was 10 weeks old.
C: Is that baby Jesus, Mommy?
--
On Blame:
We were all watching a movie in the basement. Three of us were really into it; one of us was wandering around. We are all engrossed in the movie when the screen goes black. We look down, and see that Christian has the remote.
J: Christian, we don't play with remotes, buddy.
C: Ansley doed it, Daddy.

On Birth:
Ansley is getting to THAT age. If you have older kids, you know the age I'm talking about. She asked me how babies can just burst forth from a belly, and how that happens.
M: Well, only sometimes do babies come from bellies; most babies come from somewhere else.
(Like I can get away with that.)
A: Where? (looking a little wide-eyed)
M: Umm, well, you see, umm, kind of, well....(deep breath)... from a Mommy's private area.
A: (with a very serious look on her face) Oh.
She thinks.
A: Well, that's GROSS! Too bad for Christian, but I'm glad I didn't come out that way!
M: Yes, you did, too.
--
On Children:
A: Mommy, how old do I have to be to have babies?
M: Thirty-five is the standard age.
A: What?
M: (sigh) When two people love each other, they get married. After they are married, then they decide when they want to have babies. I was twenty-eight when I had my first baby.
A: ME!!!
M: Yes.
A: Twenty-eight sounds old.

I have been in the process of recording things Ella Beth says lately so I won't forget them either. Good to know that laughter makes us live longer; I'll just re-read these comments and live forever!
Love the last one! I remember when I used to think the same thing...
