Eve: "I put those hair pins in the potty and flushed them."
Me: "What? You flushed the pins? Why would you do that?"
Eve: "Well, I dropped them."
Me: "Why didn't you call me in here to get them out for you before you flushed them?"
Eve: "Because I didn't want you to see that I poopy-ed!"
Me: "Eve. We dont flush things down the potty that dont belong there. Those cost money."
Eve: "Well, we'll just have to buy some more."
Me: "Where are we gonna get money to buy some more. Do you have money?"
Eve: "No. But God'll give us some. You just gotta ask him." (she looks up at the ceiling) "God, will you please give us some money to buy some things?" (she holds her hand out for a minute, then turns her empty, up-turned palm to me) "Here ya go, mom. It's from God. I'm just pretendin."
Me: "Thanks."
Eve got up this morning before I left for work, so she came down to the kitchen while I was getting my breakfast. "Where are you going, mom?" "I'm going to work, baby. I'll see you again when I pick you up from school." "Ok. Tell your kids to raise their hands if they need you. And you ask if you can be sweet. Ok, mom? You gotta see if you can be sweet to your friends."
We came home from picking up Eve from school and the little girls and Coleman were a little whiney. Eve announces, "I think it is time for ALL the little baby misters to go to bed!"
Eve's class at school has memorized the Lord's Prayer. It is awesome to hear her recite it. She loves to say the first few words and pause for you to repeat after her. Such a teacher. Today, she informs me that a little girl from her class is "trying to lead me into temptation." So, of course, I ask her what kind of temptation. She replies, "She was trying to get me to say to Mrs. Ann and Mrs. Hope some not so nice words." Wow. The kid actually knows what temptation is?? I was impressed. Lauren, who was listening to this conversation then asks Eve was is a "trespass". Eve says, "it's something when you don't obey." Hmmm.. I love my smart girl.
