Tonight I get to provide the counterpoint to Lindsay's blog entry.

She mentions that this morning she pulled out a box of cereal called "Life" and then proceeds to talk about the thought process that this stimulated in her. What she fails to mention is that our Preschooler upon receiving his bowl of "Life" declared them "Shreddies" and would not stand to be corrected.

Kid's say the darnedest things, but they also draw from an adult's lips some pretty strange phrases. While Lindsay was pondering "Life", I was comparing and contrasting two different brands of cereal. "No, no, no...Shreddies is a darker brown and it has a finer weave..."

One more preschooler-ism.

This morning at the Good Friday service, the Pastor described how God's grace is something that we do not naturally look for. The quote was, "Even as children we are conditioned to expect a reward for good behavior. 'If you are good then you can have a timbit', our parents tell us". At this point (during a silent, pensive moment) our preschooler belts out "I'M GOOD!!!" - expecting the good graces of Tim Hortons.
