In case you think those TV marketing people don't know what they are doing...

On our trip to the Farmer's Market this morning, I was commenting on all the beautiful produce and how God made food for us in all the colors of the rainbow. "Isn't God so smart for making all the food we eat so beautiful?" I asked the kids. Madeleine replied: "Well, there is smart and then there is Kmart smart."

Ok, time to cut back on the TV shows with commercials.

A Classic "Madeleine-ism"

We stopped at the park after school today for an hour or so to meet up with some friends. It was unseasonably hot out and I had only one drink for each of the kids after school. After playing for a while in the heat, Madeleine comes up to me and asks for a drink. I informed her that she had already finished the one drink I brought for her. To which she promptly replied: "But Mooooom! I'm starving of thirst!"

A Toddler's Perspective

As we are driving down the road, we pass a transport truck carrying several new cars....

James: Cars have bad boo boo? (thinking the transport truck is a tow truck)

Me: No, those are new cars on their way to a dealership.

Madeleine: What is a dealership?

Me: It is a place where you can buy a car. Like you buy groceries at a grocery store and clothes at a clothes store... you buy cars at a dealership. Did you know that your Granddad William works at a dealership? He sells cars.

Madeleine: That is very nice of him!

Yes, Madeleine, yes it is.
