I write most of their funny quotes/sayings/stories in their little journals...but his one was too sweet not to share on the blog.
Today, while Ava was at school Bennett and I were home. He was playing in the playroom and came running into the family room.
He says "Mama...I didn't say a bad word!."
I say..."Bennett what did you say?"
"Mama I didn't say a bad word"
I then respond, "Bennett you know there is one person who knows if you did or not."
He says "Mama God wasn't in the playroom."
Well Bennett, "God knows everything, he is everywhere and sees everything we do, so HE knows if you said a bad word or not."
"But Mama I thought he lives in my heart!
"He does buddy, but he also lives everywhere else."
Satisfied with my answer, he ran back and started playing. A few minutes later he comes running back and says "Mama God told me I said a bad word." Looking very sad I explained that when we do something wrong, we ask for forgiveness. He then asked me to help him ask God for forgiveness, we did, said a prayer and he went back to crashing his cars.
It amazes me everyday at the lessons we can teach and learn to/from our children.
