Answering Dora

My 5 year old while watching Dora....

Dora: Where do I go next?
Son: I'm not telling you.

At the end of Dora...

Dora: What was your favorite part of the story.  
Son: Nothing.


Why does he watch Dora?????  

Dear God...

Conversation between my eldest daughter and my middle son...

Sitting down to dinner....
Daughter (age 6):  "Hey, we should pray to God." 

This is what I get for enrolling her in Religious Ed.

Son (4):  "Okay." Bounces up and down in his seat.  "You start."

Daughter: "Dear God, thank you sooo much for this delicious food."

Son: "Dear God, thank you for our Christmas presents.  Don't forget to bring me toys."

Daughter: "Dear God, thank you for my family."

Son: "And don't forget to come down the chimney on Christmas Eve to bring us presents."

I have to intervene.

Me:  "Are you talking to God or Santa?"

Both children turn to me like deer in the headlights.  My son laughs.

Son:  "God."

Me:  "You do know Santa's the man who crawls down the chimney and leaves you presents, right?  God doesn't do that."

Son:  (eyeroll)  "God can do whatever he wants.  He's GOD!"


Touche.
