Chicklet5, trying to tell a grown-up friend about a DVD we had from the library, turned to me and asked: "Is it Princess Plumber...or Princess the Plum?"
Goodness, that one made me laugh! It never ceases to amaze me what jumbled up things come out of kids' mouths, but it's always funny. After we had been studying the Exodus from Egypt, my son (4 at the time) looked at me and said, 'Mom, are scorpions worse than the Pharaoh?' In his mind, there was nothing worse than a scorpion (we were having a problem with them being in the house at the time), and he was trying to figure out just how hard Pharaoh's heart was. :)

"Those seeking the life of the spirit should be cheerful and free, and not neglect recreation. Married people must act in conformity with their vocation--but their progress will of necessity be but the pace of a hen." --Teresa of Avila
"Some things God can teach us only very slowly, at the pace of walking, the speed of life." --Arthur Paul Boers, The Way Is Made by Walking
What does a hen do all day? Nothing but walk about in endless circles, pecking at this or that--yet she is one of the most creative and productive of God's creatures. Though my days may take me in circles, I pray for the daily fruitfulness of a hen as I nurture the four boys and two girls God has given us.

"Reading makes a man full; conference makes a man ready; writing makes a man exact." ~Sir Francis Bacon
O God, you have taught me since I was young, and to this day I tell of your wonderful works.

"No matter how many kids you might have, I am firmly convinced that a person can find the time to do the things they want to do." ~Dortha, in The Prizewinner of Defiance, Ohio
“Nothing has really happened unless its been described [in words]. Keep a diary. Don’t let a day pass without recording it, whether something interesting happens or not. Something interesting happens every day.” ~Virginia Woolf
"The two most engaging powers of an author are to make new things familiar and familiar things new."
