Sunday conversations........
"Mommy, Griffin with God?" Asks Emma Sage
"Yes, Griffin is in heaven with God." I say.
A little bit later we walk to the grave yard on our daily walk.......................first stopping off to see Katrina at the orchard working. We head up the road a bit and we turn into the very old gates, with snow-white headstones whose writing has been washed away from centuries of rain, sleet and snow. Emma Sage turns around in the stroller and looks at me with glee and says "
Mommy, were in heaven..............wheres God?"
So I have come to figure-out that she watched the process of burial, knowing that baby Griffin was in the coffin at the graveyard [and us telling her that Griffin was in Heaven with God], and to her understanding, the graveyard is heaven where God is. Makes perfect sense to me!
Another Sunday conversation:
Emma Sage and Otto are in the bath. I tell them,
"Otto, no water outside of the tub, keep an eye on your sister."
I hear water splashing and then a big, "
Ut-Oh" ~~ so I go in and I say "
Emma Sage, I said no water out of the tub" and a reply from my wet little peanut "
Nooooo,,,,,,you diiidn't."
To which I reply
"Yes, I did""Nooooo,,,,,,,you diiidn't" my little imp repeats,,,with more of a taunting tone in it.
"OK, Emma Sage" I say
,"please don't splash the water out of the tub."
to which comes
"Oh, OK Mommy, I sorry" And she was
right, I didn't tell her, I had told Otto!!
This kid just cracks me up!
