Emma and Lexi were pretending to call their boyfriend on cellphones in the car last night
Emma: You want to go on a date?
Lexi: Sure
Emma: That means we’re going to coffeeland.
I have *no* idea where she might have gotten that idea.

We have a blended family in our youth group. The families involved have last names beginning with B, J and B. We were trying to come up with nicknames for the family and J pipes up (without thinking ;): “Double BJ”. Um, no.

We were talking about David last night at church and I was saying that a lot of times people concentrate on his infidelity with Bathsheba and I said, “David did more than just Bathsheba.” Try saying that to a bunch of teenagers and not get a response.
It’s always fun being a fly on the wall when kids are talking together…my dad’s birthday was six days after his funeral (he died very suddenly when I was 8 months pregnant with Matthew) and my nieces were 4 and 6 at the time. We all met at the cemetary and the Girls brought a helium filled birthday balloon for their Granddad. They let it go into the clear, blue sky and we watched it get carried up to heaven by the wind. While the rest of us were talking the Girls went off together to sit. Brittany (then 4) asked Caitlin (6) whether Granddad would still have a birthday party. Caitlin told her that of course Granddad would have his birthday with Jesus and the angels. Brittany wondered if he would be able to send a piece of birthday cake down from his cloud and Caitlin replied, “Don’t be silly Brittany, it would be squashed!” The grown ups all cried we were laughing so hard.
I can imagine the laughter from your teenagers with the David and Bathsheba comment. It made me laugh out loud!
Aw, that is too cute.
