Hilarious
Somehow my kids and I started talking about Hell. Naomi wanted to know what it was like…the conversation went like this….
Naomi: “Mom, what is Hell like?”
Me: “It’s REALLY hot, there’s fire everywhere and no matter what you say or do you cannot get out!”
Soldier: “What do the cops keep you tied up there or something like Dave Warren?”
Me: “uhh….I guess it’s kinda like that.” – thinking what the heck do i say??!
Naomi: “But if we obey God we don’t go there, right?”
Me: “Yes, that’s right”
Soldier: “Well I’ll make sure to bring a knife in my pants so they won’t see it so I can cut the rope and get out then cut the ropes for Mimi!”
Me: “blankly staring”
Naomi: “But if we obey God we don’t have to go, soldier!”
Me: “Yes Naomi is right!”
Soldier: “Well I’ll make sure to take a couple of knives and a gun and hide them so when they tie me up I can cut the rope, shoot the bad guys, and get NAomi out!”
Me: “I really wish God would tell me what to say right about now”
Naomi: “As long as I don’t lie or disobey Mommy I won’t GO SOLDIER!”
Soldier: “Well I’ll take two knives, a gun and maybe some rope of my own so when I cut the ropes and shoot the guys and get Naomi out maybe if another guy comes I can tie him up….”
Me: “K, we won’t get to take guns and knives if we go to hell….but we aren’t ….cause we’re going to obey God…”
Naomi “Yep I’ll obey God and I won’t Go….You hear me soldier?”
Soldier: “Well I will make sure I hide my gun and knives and rope ….”
Me: “K, we’re done talking about Hell. Let’s play Hide and Sink.”
Hide and Sink
my son calls hide and seek “hide and sink!” He LOVES this game – anyways, tonight he’s just falling apart tired – so when I said no we aren’t going to play tonight he said (while crying!) “Ok, I’ll just hide and find myself, then!”
