Four-year-old anatomy class

S: mom, is our bum attached to everything? 
Me: ??? 
S: why are our legs attached to our bum? 
Me: so we have a place to land when we sit down. 
S: what if our legs were attached to our heads? Wouldn't that be silly? (There was more here, but we devolved into toot-talk, of course, after giggling about our bum being on our head too)

Not just "cold"

S: daddy, can I have some ice water?
Daddy: sure bud, here's your cup.
S: I want it as cold as a snowy day in wintertime.
Daddy: ...

Mystery Solved.

S: (with drama) I'm starrrrving!
Me: but you ate a full dinner.
S: that was afternoon dinner. Now I need night dinner.
Me: is that right?
S: well, I could just do a snack, I guess.

Well, then

S was asking about the Holy Spirit since he got a red balloon at church Sunday. They held the balloons over their heads (I think) to learn about Pentecost. Explaining an "invisible spirit" that is God is not the easiest thing. Trying to explain the spirit's role as conscience, I asked him, "have you ever done something bad and the felt badly about it after?" He answered, "No." 
Well then. 🔥🔥🔥

Didn't you even know...?

"Mommy, tickle me fast upside down." Oh, buddy, I don't want all your strawberries to fall out. "Silly Mommy, didn't you even know that your esophagus has a flap in it? My strawberries won't come out. Now, tickles pleeeeease." ‪#‎wellthen‬

God and me

In the middle of dinner last night, out of the CLEAR BLUE, Shepard asks, "Was God already awake when He made Himself? How did He make Himself? Did He make Himself?" ...How does "He always was" work for a four-year-old? ‪#‎deep‬

Cold air and owls

1. I think I know why it's so cold. There is a big person sitting on top of the earth and he's making COLD toots! (big grin. Also, I laughed so hard he told the joke about four more times.) 
2. I want to be an owl...because owls get to play all night and sleep in the morning...and I would be brave in the dark because owls are brave in the dark...because they can scare people. I want to be nocturnal. ‪#‎metoobuddy‬
