Who Taught Them This Stuff?

Summer of Reading
Gabby and Parker have about 20 minutes of homework they are supposed to do each week-day during the summer. June went pretty well, but July has started a little slow. Yesterday I was talking to Gabby about this.

Gabby: "It's because you are spending so much time reading and not enough helping your kids."

Caryn: "You make it sound like reading is a bad thing."

Gabby: "It's not, but you can't just ignore your kids. They need your help too. You need to sit down with us for ten minutes and help us do our work or we won't get it done."

Caryn: "Did your dad tell you to say that?"

No, he didn't. Gabby just knows, somehow, what a good mom should do. Hopefully she can whip me into shape soon!


Our Little Observer
Tonight when we were out at dinner Parker made a few observations. It started out as a discussion about "the workers." That is anyone that is working at a store, restaurant, etc.

Parker: "I know how you can tell who the workers are. They are the ones that bring the food or clean up the tables. Oh, they also wear aprons."

...without a break in the conversation while looking down at his chest...

"Did you know Jesus can see through buildings? He can see us through buildings!"

I don't think these things are related, but he sure thought of them all at once.
