Where’s my head?
Mom: Where’s my head at today?
Matthew: It’s right there mommy! (pointing at her head)
Yes or No?
Mary and Matthew were eager to do an outdoor activity after a wet couple of days held them indoors.
On the way to church Mary asks…
Mary: can we go to the park after church?
Mom responds trying to avoid a promise at this point.
Miriam: We’ll see… I’m not going to say Yes or No.
Mary genuinely puzzled by the lack of remaining responses, pauses and then asks under her breath
Mary: Then what are you going to say?
A prayer for the sun…
Approaching what was suppose to be a soggy wet weekend, Miriam was prepping Matthew for a canceled soccer practice and game. She did explain though that he can pray for a sunny day, and perhaps God can help out with his request.
As folks in Toronto know, Saturday turned out to be a surprisingly BEAUTIFUL day!
Later that day Matthew turned to me and said,
Daddy, it’s sunny outside because I prayed.
Then he whispered…
I don’t think we’re going to have school anymore either.
Your what?!?
Matthew got a hockey play set from his aunt Marylyn.
We were playing downstairs in the basement a game of ball hockey. The kids were still getting use to whaling a stick around to hit a ball. In the middle of all that stick waving, Matthew accidentally slashed his sister between the legs to which she replied: “Ouch! My penis!”
In Her Shoes
Miriam (Mary’s mom) was explaining the meaning of a quote by Renford Reese on a Starbucks cup… The Way I see it #294
Insensitivity makes arrogance ugly; empathy is what makes humility beautiful.
Trying to describe what “empathy” means, Miriam said, “It’s like being in someone else’s shoes and feeling what they feel…”
Mary responds, “Oh, I know. So it’s like I try my friend’s shoes on, and if it hurts I’ll tell her not to wear them.”
