A Glimpse Into Our House

It is never dull at our house. Tonight was just a regular night. Here is one of our conversations.

Hannah: "Daddy, Daddy" ( Jeff, was outside and Hannah wanted to got out.)
Mommy: "Come here, Hannah, I will sing you your song." (Each of the children have a special song that I have sung to just them every since I have met them.) "I have a baby. I have a girl. I have a baby. The best Hannah in the world."
Mommy: "Now, I will sing Andrew his song." "You are my sunshine. My only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. You'll never know dear how much I love you. Please don't take my son shine away."
Mommy: "Andrew, have you every heard Sierra's song?"
Andrew: "No."
Mommy: "Well, this is a song I heard while Sierra was in my tummy. I have been singing it to her for 12 years. It goes like this. The moment I saw you, I wanted to hold you and keep you warm on a cold grey morn. The moment I held you, I wanted to kiss you and welcome you here on the day you were born."
Andrew: "Mommy, what is your song?"
Mommy: " I do not have a song. You can find one and sing it to me. It can be my song. You can sing it now and when I am old."
Andrew: " Let me think. Your song can be "Jesus Loves Me."" (This is the only song he knows all the way through.)
Sierra: (She has been listening to this conversation. Without missing a beat, she says...) "Your song should be the "Grumpy Old Lady Who Lives In A Shoe.""
Mommy: (Laughing) "WHAT!!"
Sierra: "There was a grumpy old lady who lived in a shoe, she had so many children that she didn't know what to do. She fed them, spanked them, and sent them to bed. Then the old lady got to rest her weary head!"
Sierra and Andrew: (Laughing)
Mommy: "Sierra, I can't believe you said that. Of all the songs you know, you picked a nursery rhyme about a grumpy old lady. In the nursery rhyme the OLD LADY was not GRUMPY!"
Sierra: "I am just kidding Mom."
Mommy: "Oh, yea!! Now you are trying to make up. You just don't want to be sent to bed."
Sierra: "No, Mom. I was really kidding. You are not GRUMPY. Your song should be "Amazing Grace.""
Mommy: "Okay, Sierra"

Honestly, I should have commented on the "not grumpy" part. I think she was still implying that I was old. :) However, since this conversation went from sweet to somewhat sour and was not looking good for me, I decided that I would just be quiet.
Sierra, is right about one thing. My song could be "Amazing Grace". It is only God's Grace that I make it through each day and remain joyful. Especially, when I have a daughter who has a warped sense on humor.
( I am still laughing!!)
