"Do I have preschool today?....I do? AWESOME!!"
-Marian
"Mary, you look tired. You should go lie down and watch Lark Rise. I can just grab dinner for me at McDonald's then I'll clean up the house. Do you want one of my Gatorades?"
-Chad during Mary's seemingly endless pre-Christmas cold. It was music...really heavenly music to my ears.
"Mommy, if you said I could be done cleaning right now then I would get a smile on my face."
-Jack
"Lucy likes your born sister"
-Marian talking to a friend who has a little sister that Lucy is enthralled with and is expecting another baby sister in March.
"If your mom wants her baby now she should just go to the Dr. so they can give her some medicine. Then she just has to rest and rest and rest till the baby comes out!"
-Marian -spoken to the same friend as above.
*This story was shared with me by the Primary music leader.
Marian was learning a new song in Primary with these lyrics "It shouldn't be hard to sit very still and think about Jesus..." She was sitting there with a very concerned look on her face. Finally the teacher asked her what was wrong. Marian said she didn't think they should be singing that song because it wasn't very nice. When asked what wasn't nice about it. Marian said, "we shouldn't say a bad Jesus because I don't think that is right."
As we sat down to eat Hootnanies (German Pancakes):
Where are our puppies? You said we could have puppies when we had pancakes! Oh....puffy pancakes."
-Marian
NOTE: I have had Marian's hearing tested. She passed...but just barely.
"JACK!!! When a woman says 'let me use your violin,' you let her!"
-Marian
"Daddy! I guess you really are a magician!"
-Marian, in awe and wonder after watching Chad make a quarter disappear through his head.
"I'm sorry I can't marry you. I already said I would marry Elijah."
-Marian, trying to gently turn down a marriage proposal...apparently not her first.
