Gotta Love Those Kiddos!

Saturday night after we left Legoland we stopped for dinner. We ended up at a restaurant called "The Old California Mining Company." It was a neat place. Anyhow, four of the five of us decided to have the all-you-can-eat soup and salad bar. Walter comes back with a plate of salad that included alfa alfa sprouts. Lyndsey says, "Dad, it looks like you are eating grass." To which we laughed quite a bit. This was said while Phyllip was up at the salad bar himself. When he got back to the table and looked at his dad's plate he said, "Is that hay on your plate?" Of course we all laughed for a long time and hence the picture of the infamous plate of salad!


Yesterday Walter and I taught Jr. Church during the worship hour. We have come to love working with those kids. You just never know what will come out of their mouths! Hence the following conversation with this precious gem of a girl!

Kaylyn: Hey, Mr. Pettis, did you know that you have the same Bible as my daddy?

Mr. Pettis: Yes I did know that. Pretty cool, huh?

Kaylyn: Yes.

Mr. Pettis: Does that make me cooler than your daddy?

Kaylyn: Huh?

Mr. Pettis: Does that make me cooler than your daddy?

She thinks for a few seconds.

Kaylyn: My dad is the pastor!!!! He's cooler!!!!



And finally, tonight we were on our way home from church when Tyler said the following.

"Hey Mom, Pastor barely preached an hour tonight!"

Translation - He didn't preach very long!

When a kid says that you know he's been going to church for a long time!
