Tonight I'm brushing Jack's teeth before bed and he keeps looking at me funny - - finally I ask "okay dude, WHAT are you looking at?" He responds "You have some funny black stuff under your eye." So I start wiping, thinking it's day-old mascara and he says "nope. still there - all around your eye." At which point Mark starts laughing and says "Jack, there's nothing there - that's what happens to mommy's eyes when she gets tired." NICE. Nice. Guess I've been a little too busy. Or not getting enough sleep. Or I need to invest in a different brand of eye cream. Or all of the above. At least from here on out, I can count on Jack to point out the various flaws on my face. 'Cause I was worried I wouldn't have anyone to do that. Whew.
And here's Noah's latest funny - last night part of our devotional was about Adam and Eve, and how God created Eve from Adam's rib so that he would have a helper and wouldn't be alone, etc. At the end, one of the review questions asked "Why did God create Eve?" and Noah says "Because Adam needed a servant!!!" Oh. Oh my. I was concerned for a brief second until he dissolved into laughter. Thinkin' he was funnn-ny.
The devotion ended with Adam and Eve getting booted out of the garden. Noah then proceeded to inquire why we didn't cover the part where an angel guarded the garden on the east side with a flaming sword so no one could get to the tree. Huh? "Read it." he says. I keep reading and sure enough - somehow I've never read that part before, or have long since forgotten.
Oh what you can learn from kids. Wow. That they are able to teach/remind us about things in the bible amazes me. The black stuff around my eyes . . . umm, not so much.
