The girls say the funniest things. I keep telling myself I'm going to document their sayings, because God knows the next day I've forgotten what it was I was going to document. Here's one from tonight.
Sophia: Mommy if I have 10 jobs can I have lots of kids.
Me: Sure I guess (I'm excited that she understands kids=money)
Logann: Oh good then if you have 10 jobs we'll get to live in a mansion Sophia
Me: Wait you are living with Sophia when you get big Logann?
Logann: Yes I am going to live with Sophia and her husband. I'm not going to have any kids or husbands. But I'm not going to be single because I'm going to be living with Sophia and her husband, and I'm going to have lots of animals.
Sophia: Well if my kids are scared of animals Logann, you're outta the house!
Logann: And Sophia is going to be a teacher and I'm going to be her assistant
Me: Hmmm...Sophia so what is your husband going to do for work?
Sophia (in her exact words) : I don't know but I hope he bees a doctor so we can be rich cause we're gonna buy a lot of kids!
Sophia has apparently already decided she is not going through labor!

Religion, Religion
Sophia came into our bed really early this morning. So at 6am she wakes up and just blurts out of nowhere to John and I (still sleeping peacefully)
"there are people who celebrate catechal church, for 40 days they have to give up something."
Me half asleep: " catechal WHAT?"
Her:"My teacher said there is this religion,blah, blah,blah"
Me: "Oh you mean Catholisism"
Her:"Yes I'm going to give up Club Penguin for 40 days"
Me: "No not Club Penguin, mom's best babysitter
Her: "But mom it has to be something you REALLY like.
Me: "yes Club Penguin is about the only thing you like, well other than food."
So then at breakfast she wanted to know what we were all giving up for Lent.
Logann's response "I ain't giving up nothing"
Sophia: "Logann thats not being nice to Jesus you need to be nice to Jesus!"
Me: laughing in the background
She then tells John he needs to give up basketball, not a great idea with March madness starting!
Luckily she doesn't think of anything for me : ) I really should probably give up alcohol I tell her, but will power & consistency are not among my better qualities.
Logann: "what is alcohol?"
On my walk this morning I got to thinking. Its great that the public school is teaching my child so much about religion. I dont even have to pay for the private religious schooling. Sad thing is she obviously has no idea what Catholisism is or that she was baptized into the Catholic church. We are a bunch of sinners as my dad would say. I did attempt last year to register her for CCD (religious ed classes) at St.Andrew's, but they wouldn't let us in, so I decided we were better off anyway and we went back to our atheist state.
Its very hard though living religion-free in the South where the first question out of everyone's mouth is "So what's your church?"
I guess maybe now I'll answer them with "the Catechal church"
