Where are the mountains?

Driving through the country roads of Delaware…

J: Mommy, where are the mountains?
Me: They’re in Colorado.
J: I want God to move the mountains so we can see them here too.

A few minutes later…
J: A mountain! Mommy, we can pretend the trees are mountains!

Song Lyrics

One of the kids praise CDs included the song “Hallelu, Hallelu…. Praise Ye the Lord!”  I attempted to teach the boys how to stand up/sit down and sing it, but we didn’t get very far with the concept.  They remembered it, none the less, as illustrated by L2’s comment a few days later.

L2: “Mommy!  I’m “‘lula!”

L1: “And I’m ‘Crazy the Lord!'”

Eating Napkins

L1 (whining): Mommy, I don’t want to eat my napkin.

Me (confused, but giving the simple answer): Fine.  Don’t eat your napkin.

L1 (still whining): But Mommy, why can’t I eat my napkin???

L2: Because it’s a napkin!  It’s not food!!!
