Backseat Conversations

It never ceases to amaze me in our house how quickly conversations can go from being very serious to oddly strange in just a few moments.

Although it shouldn't surprise me, especially with my kids.

While driving, we were having a serious conversation with Zachary about Jesus. After much explaining back and forth about some things, his three-year-old mind was finally grasping some of the concepts.

Z: No, Jesus doesn't live in heaven - He lives in my heart.

Me: He does live in your heart when you ask Him too, but He also lives in heaven.

Z: Oh. (insert pause) Heaven is in my heart.

That just sums it up better than I could ever try to put into words.

As Rick and I were giving each other that "did-you-hear-the-sweet-thing-your-son-just-said" look, the so-touching mood of the car changed quickly with the backseat conversation between Laurianna and McKenna.

M: I think I just poopied in my bathing suit.

L: It was probably just a toot. Is it squishy?

  3. The poopie conversation was simply too funny! Hope the poopie didn't make a mess! Hopefully it was a toot!

    The conversation about Heaven and Jesus was sweet! Those innocent moments!

    I didn't take the frog picture, but simply found it. Jo-Lynne of musings with a housewife gave me a site to look through when she was designing my blog for me and I found it there. I love the froggie!
