Kids sure do say the darnest things!

K, so funny story about some of the little kids I watch/hang out with because they seem to be some of my best friends:)...
The other Sunday, Lucy decided during sacrament meeting she was going to read the scriptures to feel the spirit more because their family had been talking about listening more and preparing for the sacrament better. Anyways Lucy asked her father what page that were on for family scripture study of course Matt having no idea muttered out a random number 42! Lucy figured well we've already read that page I am going to start on 43. Pretty soon Lucy was struggling with a word. In frustration she said to her mother, (remind you this is just before we are about to partake of the sacrament) "Mom I am doing good but I don't know what this one word means." So her mother lovingly replied, "Well what word is it?" She then pointed to verse 25 of 1 Nephi 18. There it was the word she did not know... A-S-S. Her mother trying not to laugh replied that is Donkey. However, the laughter did not stay in very well and let just say it's a great thing God has a sense of humor cause being serious was not on the schedule for today.
The story doesn't even end there. The family had company over later that night and were playing the question game (This has become one of my favorite games. You have a stack of cards that have questions on them and you pick one and ask the table that question, everyone including you has to answer. It's just a get to know you kind of game but you come to realize some of the greatest things about ppl.) So one of the questions was "If you could be any animal what would it be?" Of course the smart allics Matt and Jill stated I would be a Donkey and then laughed. Well this back fired big time on them! Lucy then exclaimed in a loud voice, "I KNOW HOW TO SPELL DONKEY, IT'S A-S-S! haha Of course the couple was astonished by her statement and the room was filled by laughter just by Jill and Matt who explained as quick as possible the events that had happened earlier! Kids, so innocent and yet so blunt! I am so grateful for little kids to fill our lives with etertainment and laughter! This is why I miss my awesome nephews! I can't wait to see my studs!
