What the Kids Said

I was making a brief comment to Deacon about milk for the baby in the freezer. We stopped to hear this song preceded from Madeline's lips:

3 bags full,
3 bags full.
One for the master and one for the lane,
and one for the little boy who lives down the drain.

A couple of weeks ago, Ivan ran up to Deacon, Grandpa (dad Hoeft), Mr. Ditton after church. He had on his angry face and was pointing his two middle fingers up. He told Deacon, "These are my swords!" Deacon quickly encouraged him to use two fingers instead. Ivan replied, "No dad, these are the biggest ones!"Fortunately, he did not continue to pretend that his fingers were swords, so we did not address the issue further.
