we’re still working on our indoor voices
Just now, at Target:
Babs sees the guy coming through the door bringing in all the shopping carts. She yells, loudly:
“Does that man work here?!”
“Yes,” I say. “Shhh.”
“Oh!” she says, still yelling. “Then he must be a SERVANT!”








Fantastic! Was it one of those times you wanted to disappear under the cart but laugh so hard at the same time?

LOL! I bet that guy often feels like a servant!

That’s better than my sister’s son loudly asking her if he looked like her lackey last week in Walmart.

We have no concept of indoor voices here either. I love this at church when I hear: “MOM LOOK THERE IS ELMO RIGHT HERE. ELMO AND BUZZ LIGHTYEAR TO INFINITY AND BEYOND.”
So lovely.

My son just went to my sister’s Baptist church with her for the first time. During a quiet prayer, he said loudly, “I don’t believe in Jesus. I don’t think he is coming back”. I am SO glad I wasn’t there!

Hmmm…. What does that make you? I often wonder about how the kids percieve my roll.
