Heard in Our House Lately, Part Deux

(Thad has a little Bible that he really loves. It's very basic, with pictures, for little kids his age.)

Last night/this morning at approximately 3a:

“Dad! I brought you my big Bible. I am going to swap Bibles with you so you can have this one.”

“Thanks, Thad. That’s very kind of you.”

(Mommy giggling under covers.)

“You’re welcome, Dad. Enjoy your Bible!”

“I will. Thank you, again!”

“I am going in my room to read my Bible!”

(Mommy giggling maniacally but quietly.)

“Okay, Thad. I am just going to go to stay in my bed and sleep.”

“Well, okay. I’m just going to go read my Bible.”

(Little feet climbing back in his bed.)

(Little voice telling himself the Old, Old Story.)

Heard in Our House Lately

So, Thad has been on a linguistic roll lately. I knew you would want to hear the pearls dripping from his lips!

Background: “Poof” Car had been missing for about a month, which had caused quite a bit of consternation.

(Daddy and Thad putting on their coats to go to church. Thad was wearing a coat he hadn’t worn in about, oh, a month.)

(As he puts his hands in his pockets):

“Dad! Look! I found Poof Car!

“Wow, Thad, that’s great!”

“He was in my pocket!”

“Good job finding him. Where did you think he was?”

“Well, I thought either a monster or Sethie had taken him.”

(Seth is his cousin who is about 15 months younger than him but who does share some traits with Calvin of Calvin & Hobbes.)
