lessons from a 3 year old


Religion:
Coming home from school she told me about a boy who kept disobeying and pushed her. I asked if she pushed her sisters, "yes." Do you know what it is called MM? Sin. "Yeah, little kids sin, but adults don't." MM that's not true. You know when mom gets angry? I have to ask for forgiveness because it is sin. "Oh and when you take the computer from daddy, that is not showing patience or self control." -- I promptly redirected the conversation to trying to name all the fruit of the spirit before all my sin was discussed. Thanks MM!

Biology:
supposedly she asked Laura Bullock to explain just how MM got here... how did she get in the belly?

Geography:
a missionary from Africa came to her school today ... MM told us it doesn't snow there- Ms Liz went there but doesn't live there. And a bug bit Mrs. Cummings foot. She tells people about Jesus.

Theater:
As she was forcing Caroline into the baby doll crib, "get in there so you can be in the manger."

Family
while I was getting ready to go out last night..."I am going to get bigger and bigger and then we can like share shirts mommy."

Our house is always "educational" but just who is the teacher?
