Lauren: "Mommy, can I have a treat?"
Me: No, you already had ice cream today.
L: But, I reeeaaally need something sweet!
M: No, you may not have any more sweets today.
L: How about just a lollipop?
M: No.
L: I know!! How about one of those cookies I don't like? (We have chewy chips ahoy in the
cabinet, and we all agree they are terrible.)
M: No, it's still a sweet.
L: But, mommy, I don't even like them!!
I had to shake my head at her logic and cringe at her obvious sugar addiction.

Joshua: "Mom, come watch what I can do," he says as he jumps off the side of our porch and over our HUGE rhododendron bushes.
Me: Um, that doesn't look very safe, Bud.
Josh: Can you believe I can do that??!
Me: No, I'm definitely surprised. It looks sort of unsafe, though.
J: I know. I pray every time I jump.
M: Josh, if you have to pray that you don't get hurt doing something, it's probably not a good idea to do it.
J: Can I keep doing it please? I won't pray this time!
