"It's not a letter song"....and other things kids say:

Today while visiting a friend I got quite the giggle out of her two children, ages 4 and 2. The 4 year old in preparation for a concert was looking for someone to play the horn while she played the piano (the horn was plastic albeit a horn nonetheless). When her father volunteered to play the horn he asked, "In what key are we playing? B, C, D?" "Tell him A." Her mother lamented. At that point the toddler yelled at all of us in deep frustration, "THIS IS NOT A LETTER SONG, YOU GUYS!!!" Very funny.

Shortly after the concert experience the 2 year old was demonstrating his funny habit of spontaneous prayer. As he prayed we all crossed our arms while listening to his prayer, when he paused I peeked open one eye, just in time to see the dog making love to a human leg....naturally I giggled...the prayer was still in a pause. At my giggle their mother opened her eyes to see the same sight and appalled said aloud, "oh my gosh." The child, who I think may have been seeking a prompt from his mother to continue the prayer repeated his mothers words with his eyes still closed and arms still crossed, "Oh my gosh. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

Kids are funny, really funny.
