Pebbles

Walking through Sam's Club last week, Pebbles was fascinated by the sky lights.

Pebbles: Whassat, mom?

Me: A sky light. You can see the sky through them.

Pebbles: Ooooo, pwiddy.


She was laying in the cart, staring at the ceiling, occasionally ooooo-ing and aaaaaaa-ing. Then she giggled.

Pebbles: Don' fall down, Jesus! [pause] I'm just kidding!

Me: [looking up] What? Is Jesus up there?

Pebbles: Yesth! Don' fall down, Jesus! Just kidding!

I kind of wondered if that was blasphemy, and then I just thought it was cool that she was kind of playing peek-a-boo with Jesus. I bet He'd think that was fun.

A veggie a day...

Tag: Mom, I don't want fajitas for dinner.

Me: What do you want to make for dinner?

Tag: Oatmeal. I know how to make that.

Me: Well, for a family dinner you need to have either two vegetables or a vegetable and a fruit to go with dinner if it's going to have a main dish that all grains, like oatmeal.

Tag: Fine, we'll have spaghetti with the oatmeal.

Me: No, no, you need a vegetable, too.

Tag: Ok, we can have meatballs.



Methinks I've left a grievous gap in his nutritional education.
