William Teaching Elizabeth New Words
Elizabeth asks, "Mom, does eliminate mean to be nice or hurt you?" I explained that word meant to no longer have something and proceeded to ask where she heard that word..."from William's mouth - he said he was going to eliminate me!"

Understanding Dad's Job
A few days ago, Kelly was reading the paper after I left for work. William walked up and asked her what she was reading. He asked her if she was reading about the "Stop Market." She inquired on the meaning of that term. He went on to say, "you know...the thing that dad does at work. Yes, daddy deals with the "Stock Market."

One of the Many Future Conversations
Tonight, William asked the question. "Why does my friend not get to see his dad very much?" Wow! This came out of left field. Kelly immediately looked at me. Somehow, she trusts me to have this talk when she doesn't trust me talking to her friends at a dinner party. I proceeded to tell him that the mommy and daddy had decided not to live together, but God likes for mommies and daddies to always stay together. I expressed how blessed he should feel that his mommy and daddy love each other so much and that they would never live apart. I was patting my back for a job well done when, after 4 minutes of silence, William said, "Dad, did you know that if that happens, you can just marry someone else. "In fact (yes, he says in fact), you can get married at any age." I then asked him what he thought about that and he said, "sounds like a great idea!" I gave him a few hours, so that I would be able to keep a straight face and set the expectation that God wants us to never leave each other.
