So, here are some words that Lauren has asked me to define lately. (Don't worry. I still have 12 more folders of pictures to upload.) I thought I'd pass these along to see how you would define them to a just-over-4-year-old.
Glory
Honor
Reverence
Respect
Lord
[a word which was given a strong admonition against using]- she wanted to know what other words we don't say.
Other random questions/statements.
Why did Mary have Jesus even though she wasn't married to Joseph? (because "we don't do that, do we, Mommy?")
How much is the gas here? (She asks that every time we drive by a gas station.) To answer that question, I saw Regular for $1.62! Crazy, huh. Especially considering it was just over $4 not that long ago.
On election day, while waiting in line-"Mommy, how old do I have to be to vote?" "18" "Oh. How about if I'm 19?" "That's fine. As long as you're over 18." [Ryan pipes up] "I'm going to be 6" [chuckles from people standing around us] [Lauren in a mothering tone] "Nooo Ryan. You have to be over 18, like 19, or 20, or 21....." [She continued to count until I finally stopped her, at which point, she informed me that when she turned 19, she was going to vote for John McCain. Yes, I watch Fox News a lot, but Scott & I hadn't really discussed politics because we both knew we were voting for the same person.] As the afternoon wore on, I turned on FNC to see how the polls were faring. Of course, they kept going between the McCain and Obama headquarters. Lauren was pointing out who each of the men were (which I found particularly strange, since like I mentioned, we didn't discuss politics). The next day, when everyone on every channel was talking about President-elect Obama, Lauren pipes in with "Oh maaan! I really wanted John McCain!" which she said like she was truly devastated. I couldn't help but laugh. This kid has no idea what she'd talking about. She does know, however, that she needs a new presidents place mat since "W. Bush isn't president any more." What a kid.
Well, I digress. Anyway, you get the point. Conversations are always interesting around here.
