Conversations

The boys and I have a lot of meaningful conversations and it seems I forget them before I'm able to blog, but this one I want etched in our family memories.....

Okay boys, what are you thankful for this year?

Ethan:  I'm thankful for school, and my teachers.

Me:  Anything else?

E:  Well, I'm thankful for you and dad, and uma and upa and grammy and grandpa and cousins...

Me:  What about your brother?

E:  Yep, I'm thankful for the weather.

Me:  No, I said BROTHER.

E:  Oh.

And then he was silent.....

Me:  What about your arm.  Are you thankful it's all better?

E:  Yeah, but I'm not thankful for all the money it cost.

AMEN.

Me:  Lucas, what are you thankful for?

Lucas:  The house.

Me:  That's great!  What else?

Lucas:  The stoplight, the tree, the car, the road, the store, the sign, McDonalds.....

Me:  Are you just saying everything we are passing?

L:  Yep.
