My nieces stayed the night at our house while Conrad and Vicki were on a 24-hour retreat. We made pizza, had a picnic in our living room and enjoyed some wonderful conversation. Here’s a sample:
Lydia: “Aunt Kimmie, if you could be any wild animal, what would you be?”
Me: “Hmmm…that’s a good question. Let me think a minute…”
Bryn: “I know what I’d be! I’d be a lion – a male lion. Male lions don’t do as much as the females…”
Lydia: “Yeah! The male lions lay around all day while the female lions go hunting.”
I said I’d be a monkey so I can swing from trees all day, but somehow that couldn’t quite top what they had said. You’re doing well,Vicki. Very well.
Ellie: “Hey Aunt Kimmie! I pooped! Wanna see it?” I think I’m going to give Conrad the credit for that one.
