I’ve Been There Before
October 28, 2005
For telling Leta after she came up to me and indicated that she wanted to play Elmo on the computer for the tenth time in one hour that Elmo was dead. He died. NO MORE PLAYING ELMO ON THE COMPUTER BECAUSE HE’S WITH HEAVENLY FATHER.
Which reminds me of a situation a few weeks ago. I was doing bills at the dining room table and going over that week’s damages with Susie who was in the kitchen. And then Aaron walks into room. “So Momma it’s pretty bad. I think we’re going to have to sell one of the kids”, I say with to Susie with a bit of resignation in my voice. “Aw, I wonder which one we should sell?”, is Susie’s response. Our 5 year old’s eyes dart from me to his mother and he quickly responds with: “Sell Sissy! Sell Sissy!”
