Let’s be honest, in a house filled with 4 preschoolers, most of our conversations are, um, less than deep. These days, we’re having a lot of discussions about Toy Story, poop, Ice Age, our new chore charts, Alex’s imaginary world, who-did-what-to-whom, and more poop.
So, when those rare moments of clarity hit, they tend to stand out, pleasantly surprising us that a deep thought can still slip off our tongues. But it does happen. Here are my recent favorites:
1. The other day, Eric and I were talking as we drove (almost late) to church. In the middle of the conversation, he noted, “If you let your mind go down a road long enough, you can choose to do anything.”
2. Timmy’s current rate of high mobility requires one or two key gates. The most important one being across the kitchen. So, the 5+ foot doorway is now restricted to a not-even 2 foot opening. And needless to say, there’s a lot of traffic through it.
So, as I was scooting around one of the girls for the Lord-knows-how-many-th time, I said, “Move please. When there’s a narrow gate, you can’t stand in front of it. You have to get out of the way.”
See, aren’t we just profound? 🙂
