I had meeting with my women’s group at church today. When I picked up Jane and Ron from childcare after the meeting, one of the workers informed me that Ron sang a song for everyone today. Since it was a song that he made up himself, no one else knew the words. After it was over, Jane informed the worker that she knew the song because she lives with Ron. As we were walking to the car, Jane told me more about Ron’s song. She said, “It’s a song about race cars, but it’s kind of God-ish because he wanted it to be appropriate.”

Sunday, December 28th, 2008Jane was playing with a paper clip holder, and then discovered that the paper clips stuck to her little music player. She asked why, and I explained that it had a magnet in it.
“Daddy, why does a speaker have a magnet? Does it hold the music in?”

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008They combined to pull this one off:
Me: “After quiet time, we’ll get back in the pool.”
Ron: “With Grammy and Gram[p]y?”
Me: “Oh that would be fun, but they’re too far away to come.”
Jane: [with a measure of "those crazy grandparents" in her voice] “What, are they in Singapore again?”

“Is that the red kind of rain?”

“That rain sure is noisy. Is that the red kind of rain?”
Our funny girl!
Thursday, March 27th, 2008During one of my conversations with Jane yesterday:
“Mommy, I’ve got a joke for you. How many penguins does it take to change a lightbulb?”
“I don’t know. How many penguins does it take to change a lightbulb?”
“Ten!”
“Ten? Why does it take ten?”
“Because that’s the right number.” (Followed by Jane’s infectious laugh.)
Overheard last night…
