Big Steps

So...it sure has been a while since I added to our blog. I guess I'll make the excuse that I've been busy. Not that I haven't but I'm sure I could have squeezed in time somewhere. Oh well! I was just reading Millie's blog about the funny things Ellery says. It sure made me chuckle, and I couldn't help but think of our own comedian Meggers, and had to share as well. Meggie suffers from a condition that I think a lot of little children suffer from. Her mind is so active, she is always thinking... and talking, and sometimes what she verbalizes is only half of the thought process... A couple Sundays ago we were driving home from church and Meggie tells me...

"Mom, I had to hop on every one!"

"What? I don't understand Meggie, you had to hop on what?"

"I had to hop on every one! They were really big!"

"What did you have to hop on?"

"The steps to Jesus' castle...they were really big steps and I had to hop on every single one. There are four steps to Jesus' castle and the first one is Faith, but I don't remember the other ones."

I really had to laugh. We all did. I think sometimes she just thinks we are all partial to what she is thinking before she starts to talk. Right after this episode she said something equally as vague about a woman.

Brinley, in a very annoyed big sister way, said, "Meggie, what are you talking about?"

Then Meggie, in a very frustrated little sister way, said, "Brinley, you know!!"

"No, I don't!"

"Yes, you do!"

You get the picture. uhhhh.
