Conversations From Lunch

Today at lunch my kids were having the following conversations ...

Chloe: "Mom, when I'm 16, I'll probably still like girly games, but also, I think I'll like playing with boys, too."

Not good.

A few minutes later I was in the other room folding laundry and heard Chloe say that God was in outer space. I told her, from the other room, that God is everywhere.

Michael: "God is in my eye." (typical seven year old boy humor)

Rachel: (while sounding deeply offended) "Michael, that is NOT funny."

Michael: "God is in my water."

Rachel: (offended and motherly) "You need to stop saying things like that. It's disrespectful and NOT funny."

I'm glad to know that in my absence Rachel has things under control. Maybe I can ask her to address the Chloe turning 16 issue.
