The other day I was driving with Jake and Julia and both of them said something that made me laugh.
Julia is 5 and she is sounding out words and trying to unravel the mysteries of letters, spelling, etc. She often says things like "'Dog', 'what letter does that word start with?' 'D-d-d-d-d' - 'D!'" She was sounding out the word 'street' and she said "'Street', 'what letter does that word start with?' 'R-r-r-r-r' - 'F!'" Obviously she has more to learn.
A little later on Jake and I were talking about the fact that we were going to be moving to the Albany area and he asked me if they have lacrosse there. I told him that they do and explained the various options there. Then I said that they have football too.
He said to me 'I hope it isn't vegetarian football". I was taken back a bit and I asked him to repeat what he said, and he repeated, "I hope they don't play vegetarian football!"
I asked him with a little chuckle in my voice, "What is vegetarian football?"
He said, "The kind of football where they don't hit each other." My chuckle turned into a belly laugh.

Cute!!! Kids are the greatest! It is wonderful when they cause laughter, even when we could be otherwise stressed. Praying for all of you!
