Calvin to Liliana: "Do you ever want to be in the circus?"
L: "No."
"You could stand on top of an elephant. People do that in a circus."
"Yeah..."
C: "I wouldn't want to be in the circus either. The only thing you can do if you're a man is be a muscle man."

Me: "Which Moses story did you prefer at church today: The one Pastor Jason told during regular church with the burning bush, or the one at children's church about baby Moses in the basket?"
Calvin: "I liked the one we listened to in the cemetery."
Me: "The cemetery?"
C: "Yeah, the cemetery, where the grown-ups go with the high ceiling and the pointy thing on top."
Me: "Do you mean the sanctuary?"
"Yeah. The sanctuary. I liked the story we heard in the sanctuary."
Tell C not to bow down to gender roles. There are elephants waiting!

ReplyDelete:) Hugs from Albuquerque to all of you.
