Parenting 101 (a class I think I may have to take over)

B5 was playing with some toys that connect magnetically and so he can build all kinds of things and he showed me his latest creation and said, "look, mom, it's just like the cross that Jesus died on." "yeah, it is, great job." B5:"he did really die on the cross, you know." me" "yeah, that's right" B5: "He wasn't just pretending, he really died." me: "Yes, that's right" I'm starting to feel real good about his Sunday School classes and what he's been taught and how it's been presented and then he says, "He died in our stomachs." Me: "what?" B5: "He did, he died in our stomachs." So now I'm wondering just exactly what was said in his class and how in the world did he get that out of it?!

I was trying to explain the golden rule to my son, B7, last night. I don't think he got it. I still think he thinks it says and means, "treat others the way they treat you." I said, "think of a soccer game and you run up to kick in a goal and it missed just by a tiny bit, would you want someone to say, 'oh, nice going, great try or ah, man, if you had actually gotten that in, we could have won!'?" His answer, "when we were playing today at recess I scored a goal and the goalie, Bobby said, "you missed, that doesn't count." I'm thinking we will still have to work on that one.

Little Diva had her 2 year check up this morning. The doctor asked me "how's she sleeping?" I hate that question. "Fine, as long as she's holding my finger" Dr:"that can be a hard habit to break" Yeah, I know that, why do you think she's still sleeping in my bed??
