On our way to church…
Ada: I wish we had church at our house.
Grace: Maybe we could have a kids’ office!
Eli: Yeah!  And we could play there whenever we wanted!
Grace: No, we would have to do work.  Working at a church is a lot of work.
Eli: Well, mom would just do it.
Ada: Yeah.
Grace: No, we would have to help!  There’s a lot of work to do at a church!
So here are my take-aways.  1) Maybe I talk about work too much in front of them. 2) I clearly do too much work for them.  At least Grace has a good grasp on reality.

Chad: I have to go to Chicago tonight.  Repeat after me.  I Eli
Eli: I Eli
Chad: will listen to mom
Eli: will listen to mom
Chad: so dad doesn’t have to come home and spank me.
Eli: I’m not saying that!!
