As we were getting in the car after dinner tonight, Arabella (age 4) requested a trip to Baskin Robbins for dessert. The following conversation occurred:
Me: I think that's a great idea, sweetheart, but you're going to have to ask your daddy.
Arabella: Why?
Me: Because Daddy makes the decisions.
Arabella: <laughs> Nuh uh! You do.
Me: Daddy makes the decisions for our family. That's the job that God gavehim. Daddy listens to God, like your brother and sister and you listen to Mommy and Daddy.
Arabella: And God?
Me: You've got it.
Arabella: Does God listen to me?
Me: He hears you when you talk to him.
Arabella: So I can talk to him? I don't have to ask Daddy to talk to him?
Me: You can talk to him.
Arabella: Okay. Thank you, Mommy. <a moment later> God, please let Mommy make all the decisions for our family. Thank you.
LOVE IT!!!!
