A couple weekends ago, I hosted a Baby Shower for my sister-in-law Ashley. It was a smashing success--I was so pleased. During the shower we played a game: Alternative Names for Children's Book Titles. So essentially you were given something like, "Emerald Yolky Food with accompanying Pig Product" and had to guess "Green Eggs and Ham". A day or two after the shower my mom was reading thru the list, because we played that game before she got there. Emmett was in the room. Please keep in mind that he is ONLY THREE, and keep in mind that he WAS NOT around at the shower.
Mom: Locale of the Concrete Walkway's Termination?
Mom: Where the road stops?
Me: Where the Sidewalk Ends!
Mom: Fedora Wearing Feline?
Emmett: The Cat in the Hat!
Me: He's Right. (I totally thought it was a fluke).
Mom: Locale of the Untamed Creatures?
Me: Remember that 'locale' in the other one stood for 'where'.
Mom: (Still thinking).
Emmett running by: Where the Wild Things Are!
Me: He's right again! Haha!
What a little smarty pants. He's so funny!
ok...so there is no way I could get any of those!! Games like that go way over my head...yet I have a couple kids that could figure them out as well!!
ReplyDeleteAs for your post about Sundays...listening to you talk about not being able to find stuff is all too familiar:) I often wonder what us as Mormon's are thinking:) Loved the post!!!
That is impressive Emmett!
ReplyDeleteAnd about your sunday mornings... it is amazing. And it is amazing that all over the world there are millions of people doing the same thing. I always think its amazing and beautiful how the Lord is building His Kingdom on the earth by these "small and simple" things we do... times many people doing the same "small" things all over the world, collectively accomplishing a "mighty" work! Its beautiful how our small contributions (that often feel like a big sacrifice) are so important.
