Out of the mouths of babes


Nathaniel amazes me. Most of his days consist of being a typical 5 year old boy. He giggles at the mention of any potty talk and would happily spend all of his days watching cartoons. But every now and then he says something so amazingly witty I can do nothing but laugh out loud.

And then there are his wonderful observations of the world. Nathaniel has a way of distilling enormous ideas into wonderfully quotable quotes.

The other day he asked, "Mom, did Noah have an umbrella?" A very reasonable question that led to a conversation about being prepared.

My favorite, though, was after we had read scriptures one night. We were discussing our belief that this life is a test, but that the eternal reward is worth it.

Afterwards, Nathaniel said, "Mom, this is a REALLY long test."
