Funny Conversations

This conversations happened this week and they were pretty noteworthy.

Convo #1

Oldest: I drew your favorite player.
Me: No, that's your favorite player. Mine is black. (Tony Gwynn, gentle readers.)
Oldest: I thought so.
Me : You did?! Why?
Oldest: Because it is so sunny where you live.

hahahahaha!

Convo #2

3rd: ... and when I'm good, I will go to Heaven. *flap flap* [he waves his arms like wings] But you won't go.
Me: Why?
3rd: Because you belong to the wrong church.
Me: Oh , really?
3rd: Yeah. but everyone thinks they belong to the right church, but it's wrong. Wrong church, wrong, wrong, wrong.

hahahahaha!

So one kid thinks the sun makes people black (do you explain evolution to an 11 year old?) and the other proselytized me.... just great! Kids are so funny.
