All of our children went/are going through the same Christian preschool. Then, with kindergarten, they're attending a public school. This year our youngest (Hosanna) started her preschool. She's three. Our oldest (7) says to Hosanna, "Your school is very special. They teach you about God, and you get to go to chapel there."

We told this to the preschool teachers and the director, and they almost had tears in their eyes. Sigh...if we just could conjur up $15K a year, I'd put all three through private Christian school. Ah well...we try to make up at home/church. :-)

Yesterday, my family and I were sitting and eating lunch when I asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” to my five year old son. He quickly said, “I still want to be a policeman!” I said, “Then you mother is going to be sad.” He asked, “Why?” I said, “Because it is a dangerous job.” He looked at me quizzically. “They have to go out at catch the bad guys and sometimes they have guns,” I continued. “They have guns?” he asked. I said, “Some of them have big guns” wide eyed. He sat there and pondered this for a minute. He said, “I want to be a fireman then.” I then went into the dangers of that profession too. In the end he came to the idea of becoming a doctor or a dentist. I turned to my three year old son and asked him, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” He sat and thought then asked, “Bad guys have big guns dad?” I said “Yes” happy he understood the danger. He nodded his head and said, “I want to be a bad guy.”

My husband teaches a couple of night classes.
This is in addition to his full-time day job.
To fit it all in, he marks student papers in the evenings.
Sometimes he skips some of our family TV shows to do this.

Anyway, my four-year-old daughter woke from her nap the other day and announced:
"Mummy, I'm gonna become a husband!"

I said:
"Wow! Why do you want to become a husband?"

Her response:
"So that I can mark Daddy's papers for him and then he can watch 'Australian Idol'!"

Bless her little heart!!!!
Needless to say, my husband was VERY touched with her thoughtfulness.

About a month ago my wife was called to serve as Primary President in our Branch. Yesterday a little girl in primary comes up to her and says to my wife..."I need to speak with you in Private". My wife says ok and they go outside in the hallway and the girl whispers in her ear..."May I sing by myself a special song next week"?? My wife said...that would be wonderful, sure you can do that. The girl then says"Don't tell anyone till next week. I thought that was funny when she shared this with me.

We are presently gearing up for a Federal election here in Australia.
The current Prime Minister is John Howard (Liberal Party).
His main opponent is Kevin Rudd (Labour Party).
As always, there is a lot of media coverage.

My 4 year old daughter saw a news flash with Kevin Rudd campaigning.
She came into the kitchen and said:
"Mum I just saw Kevin Rudd on TV, who is he?

I explained that Kevin Rudd and John Howard are having a competitiion at the moment.
They both want to be the 'boss' of Australia, so they are trying to get people to vote for them.

I said:
"John Howard is the boss right now and Kevin Rudd wants his job."
"So, they are both talking to people to try to get them to like them and choose them for the job."
"It's kinda like Australian Idol, where people vote for their favourite (this she totally understood)."

Then I said to her:
"Who do you think you would vote for sweetheart?"
Kevin Rudd or John Howard?"

Her classic reply:
"Oh Mum, I'd vote for Presidenty Hinckley coz he's more specialer!"

I have some very whitty children.

When my daughter was 4 (now7) she was having one of those days where she just wined and cried about everything. (I usually call her Alice when she cries because of this video game my husband played. Alice would cried a lot and filled up the house with tears.) I told her to go to her room untill she was done crying. When she came out I asked if she was done crying and she replied, "I don't know, are you ready to swim?'
I looked at her and said "What" with a confused look, and she responded "Because I'm goona start again." Then we both cracked up laughing untill our sides hurt and we were both crying from laughing so hard.
