Robe and Stole

Lucy saw my mom in her full pastoral robes and stole for the first time at today's Christmas eve service.
Lucy:  "Grandma, what kind of outfit is THAT?"

Morning Pronouncement

You know it's going to be a rough day when your daughter comes into your room at 7:30 a.m. and the first thing out of her mouth is, "I feel like a jerk today."

About Schmidt

Caleb buys all of his clothes from Tractor Supply Company, who's 'brand' is  C.E. Schmidt Workwear (the brand preferred by farmers).  Lucy and I were cheering him on today as he installed new curtains in Lucy's room.
Me:  "Look at daddy! He's so handy.  Drilling and measuring in his Schmidt workwear!"
Lucy:  "You can't say Schmidt mom."

Her hair has skills

Me: What did I tell you about chewing on your hair?  If you keep doing that we're going to have to cut it short again.
Lucy:  I'm not chewing on it.  I'm pretending it's a snorkel.

What exactly goes on in that bathroom?

Me:  Why is the door to bathroom where Lena's litter box is closed?
Lucy:  I had to use the bathroom.  I needed my piracy.

I didn't correct her.  Piracy is way more fun than privacy.
