Kids say the darndest things...

I picked Avery up from preschool today and the teachers said, "Oh, we prayed for your family today!" They have a book with all the families' pictures and they pray for one family each day. So the teacher is clearly hiding this grin and I ask her - what did Avery ask you to pray for? And she laughs and tells me that he asked them to pray that I would have a baby. 

Hi-lar-ious. Right? 

So I asked her - did you pray for that? And she of course said yes. 

So funny. Avery's decided he wants a minivan with two slide-on-their-own doors because the other kids' moms have them. I guess he's decided the same thing about the other kids' baby siblings...

Then tonight we were on our way home from Denise's (the sitter) and Avery was talking about being a firefighter. He said, "At night, I will go home to my own house and have dinner and then go to bed." After a minute, he added, "But first I have to get married." Here is what happened next:

Mom: Where do you think you will meet your wife?

Avery: I don't know. But she will be very nice. And she will like me.

Josiah: I'm going to be a firefighter.

A:  You walk up to her and you say 'let's get married.'

M: That's what happens?

A:  Yes...you kiss her and then you're married.

M: You kiss her?

J: Yeah, you kiss her. And then you tell her, you say 'we're married' and then you're married.

M: Is that right?

J: I'm going to be a firefighter.

And there you have it.
