A Sort of Sacrament?

If it has to be a long post it isn't going to happen.
If it has to be so funny, but also poignant it will never see the web.
But if it can just be something random here and there, I can do it. So here goes.
Maddie (21-month old) says Jesus now, and not even as a swear word. That's one commandment I try to honor. We have enough paintings of the Savior up on our walls that she can just recognize him now.
So we are driving home from church and Maddie is holding the coloring page she received in nursery. Then she starts ripping it. Evan, naturally, is upset by this. He doesn't like that kind of thing. Destruction isn't something I expect to see in his rebellious teenage years. So he makes a fuss. Maddie however, is not deterred, and proceeds to eat her paper.
Evan turns up the volume and demands that she not eat it. I eventually pull my head out of the allergy/cold/excessive heat induced fog it is in and take the paper pieces from Maddie.
Who then whimpers, "my Jesus".

4 sign your pity:

I think Maddie showed great ownerability (is that word?) She was given the paper, she colored on it, considered it, and consumed it.

Yeah, that's like, a vertical monopoly, right?

Also, some blogging is better than no blogging. Even some crappy blogging. (Says the frequent crappy blogger.)

Love it! Your kids are just too funny. Both have such distinct personalities. For the record - any blog post from you is great.
