It's a High Price To Pay

Actual conversation tonight at Bible study between my five year old daughter Hailey and our pastor's daughter, 4 and a half year old Abby.


Hailey: Abby, do you know what is going to happen to us when we get grown up?

Abby: No, what?

H: Well, we can still be friends, but we can’t play anymore.

A: Grown-ups don’t play?

H: No, they just sit around and talk and drink things.

A: They do?

H (indicating the adults in the group, who were sitting around drinking coffee): Yeah, look at them.

A: But I still want to play!

H (shaking her head sadly): I know, but it’s just something we are going to have to deal with.

A: At least we’ll be able to write our names pretty like our Mamas.

Too, too funny!

And hey, to some of us, standing around drinking coffee IS play!

That is very cute. I love watching children have conversations. They can say some of the funniest things.
