I'm going to try something different for a change of pace. Normally Bonnie and I have been sharing ideas to help you grow in your parenting skills so that you can enjoy a happy home. Today, I want to share a cute story from our kids when they were small. I hope you'll get a laugh out of it but also that you would share one of the fun things your children have said or done. After all raising children shouldn't be all work but fun too!
Fiery Furnace
When the twins were 4, Bonnie and I had been talking in the car about something we had done prior to having children. Becky and Joel were both interested in what we had done but the inevitable question came forth from Joel.
“Were we there?”
“No.”
“Well, where were we?”
Bonnie and I looked at each other wondering what to say. I think we came out with something original like ‘you were only a twinkle in your father’s eyes’. Becky wanted to know what that meant. We were wondering if this is the time to talk about reproduction or what. Before we could say anything else, Joel piped up with ‘I know, I know’. We said, ‘Where were you?’ He replied, “In the fiery furnace of much affliction”.
