This morning’s breakfast question makes me tired just thinking about it.
Read full post...Asher: Mommy, I want you and Daddy to have 2 more babies so we can be seven people like the Slaters.
Me: Well, we’ll see… one at a time.
Asher: No! Can we have 100 babies?!
Me: (I just started to laugh)
Asher: Then we’d have to have a HUGE house, like I’ll have in heaven, because God is going to give me a mansion in heaven!
Well, I got another dose of challenging questions from Asher yesterday. He was being very disobedient, so i sat down with him and talked to him, telling him how he needed to obey Mommy.

Asher: Is my heart beating?
Me: Yes. You can feel it in your chest. (we felt his heartbeat and got this big ol’ grin)
Asher: Does everyone have a heart?
Me: Yes. That’s what helps keep us alive.
Asher: Does God have a heart?
Me: Well. Jesus had a heart, because He is a man.
Asher: But does God the Father have a heart? In Heaven.
( I didn’t get a chance to answer that one, because Micah chimed in.)

“Please help Meelah learn to obey and not jump up on the counters or he’s going to have to spend a lot of time in the bathroom” (that’s where we lock Meelah up when he’s being bad).

Micah: Oh, the jeep is stuck!
Asher: Jeeps don’t get stuck, Micah. Land Rovers get stuck.
Micah: My jeep is out of gas. Oh, help me.
Asher: Here’s some gas.
Micah: Okay, let’s go!
Asher: Oh no! My Land Rover is stuck.
Micah: I’ll come pull you out, Ash.
Asher: Can we trade? Because the jeep is better!
Micah: No! The jeep is mine.
Asher: Please? I need the jeep. You can have the Land Rover.
Micah: Okay. Here you go, Ash.
Asher: My jeep is better!
Micah: My Land Rover is faster!
Asher: Come on, let’s play yours gets stuck and I’ll pull you out.
Micah: Help, I’m stuck! I need a jeep.
