Graduating May Kill You

Miss J ~

Today: "I can't wait till the last day of school when I get to graduate from first grade. Do you think it's going to be like last year when I had my kindergarten funeral and I got a certificate and walked to the front of the stage?"

Yesterday: "Will we ever have a cat or dog... I know, we have to wait until we don't live here and have our own house. And we can't buy a house until Daddy graduates. But what if I'm dead by then?"

***On a side note, Miss J was wearing this dress on Sunday when all the primary children went up to the front to sing a song for Mother's Day. After church we were praising our children for their singing and asking how they felt when they were up there. Nervous, of course. But Miss J answered, "I was so embarrassed. I couldn't believe I was up there in front of everyone wearing polka-dots!" How horrific! I think she looks absolutely adorable.

But polka-dots are all the rage right now! A few weeks ago, all I could see were polka dots as I wandered the mall department stores! And she looks beautiful!! I love her perspective on education.

Moral of the story: Never be caught dead at a graduation or wearing polka dots.

Thanks for capturing the insights of innocence through your wonderful writings.

Love, Dad

LOL. She is a funny lady. I love her dress and think she looks darling. She has got quite the little personality.

Balancing & Blogging

I've come to the conclusion that balance in life is only attained when one limits the extent and experiences of ones life. Maybe not.  P...
