Today is Christmas and overall it's been a really good day. I'll get to that later. Before I forget, I wanted to share some conversations I've had with the kids.
Conversation with Madison and Hannah: (We are playing video games on the Nintendo Wii)
As we play our game, we are told to go to the ranch to find true love. Hannah asks, "Why do we need to find true love?" Madi promptly replies, "Hannah, everyone has a true love. Dad has a true love, Mom has a true love, and I have a true love."
As a father, I quickly decide that Madi is too young for a true love (although I believe this is her third or fourth one).
"Who is your true love, Madi?" I asked.
"Parker." (Parker is a kid at school and is also in her church class.)
"I think you are too young to have a true love."
"Okay Dad, I'll break up with him." This made me wonder if something official had been put in place so I had to ask, "Are you guys going out?"
A look of confusion spread across her face. I have to admit, it gave me a bit of relief as she asked what "going out" meant.
I avoided that question with a question, "Does Parker know you are his true love?"
Madi sighed, "Yeah, I accidently told him on the second day of school. It just kind of slipped out."
Madi is definitely going to give us problems when she gets older.
