Survival of the Fittest
Peter drew me a picture this morning.
Me - what is it?
Peter - a duck, a duck and a goose getting eaten by a three headed dragon.
Me - why did you draw that?
Peter - because I like ducks and gooses and dragons.
Me - if you like the ducks and the geese why did you make the dragon eating them?
Peter - that's what dragons do mom, I can't help it. It's called the food chain. P

Taking the Lord's Name in Vain
The other day, I was folding laundry in my room and Aaron and Campbell were playing in her room. From over the monitor I heard Aaron exclaim, "Jesus, Campbell!"
In shock over him speaking like that I ran into the room to reprimand Aaron's language.
Me - Aaron, you are absolutely not to take our Lord's name in vain. Where did you learn to say that?
Aaron - from the book?
At that point I realized he was reading "Jesus and the 12 Dudes who Did" to his sister... And that I should probably observe a situation before starting my rants.

Sneaky
This morning Peter got down stairs for breakfast two minutes before me.
When I came down the first thing I saw was the step stool from the bathroom sitting next to the shelf we have in our entry way. A shelf which just happens to have a jar of candy sitting on top of it.
As I rounded the corner I found Peter hiding under the dining room table.
Me - Peter, are you eating chocolate?
Peter - how do you do that? Did the eyes in the back of your head come downstairs and see me?
This is one of those moments where I struggle with what to do. Teach him how to be a better sneak, or maintain his belief in my super powers? Tough call. For now I think I will keep my super hero status.
