Don't make Jesus Angry!

My daughter is spending the week with Grandma and Grampa this week. Thursday is settling in and I'm starting to get very impatient for her return. I thought as a tribute I would share one my favorite conversations with her.

She was about 4 or 5 at the time and had just started going to Catechism Classes. We were in Target and she had been running around so I stuck her in the cart. She then started to beg for a new toy or something of the sort.

"No," I said to her. "You have not been behaving yourself. We don't buy toys for little girls who are naughty."

"But mommy," she began reasoning. "Jesus wants me to have a toy."

"Yeah?" I said.

"Yes, and if you don't listen to Jesus you will make him angry. It's naughty to make Jesus angry!" She explained with such eloquence. "So you NEED to buy me a toy."

Ahhhhh....young children. She's quite creative when it comes to getting her way. I seriously had to fight back laughter at that point. At least I know she was listening in class!

How funny! Kids say the funniest things and are so much smarter than we give them credit for!

Sherrinda...this girl deserves tons of credit. Sometimes I thinks she's even smarter than me! LOL

That's adorable. I can't wait for Brogan to start talking so I can hear what his little mind thinks up. :)
