More Isis-isms

Several months ago Isis came racing through the house.  She was wearing precisely a flashing red head lamp, underwear, and a green tail.  Sometimes I think children lose their minds several times throughout the day.  It is during these lapses that they go sprinting through the house like a naked, alerting lizard.  Honestly no one with a mind would do that.  Then come the outpouring of questions about life and heaven and daily existence and the way the world works and you realize some lizards are pretty darn smart.

The stumpers...

Do birds get sun in their eyes?

How do I use my imagination?

What would happen if we picked up the world?

Why am I not supposed to see my eyes? (by far a personal favorite of mine)

How do we move? Like in our bones?

Do we live in the world or on the world?

The ones I wish I could answer...

When you die do you just go straight to heaven?  Like if I die in Virginia do I go right from Virginia to heaven?

Are you hungry in heaven?

Does God have a house?

Me: Isis, what should we get Pop-Pop for Father's Day this year?
Isis: I want to make my other Pop-Pop a card.
Me:  Did you remember that your other Pop-Pop lives in heaven?
Isis: Maybe there's a mailbox in heaven.

The ones that make me spit chocolate milk out my nose...

When Aunt Karla was babysitting me, she had to go potty a lot because the baby in her tummy was sitting on her gutter.

Mommy, if it gets really windy outside tonight and it's really noisy, you may bring me downstairs...it's an option.

Me: Isis what do you want for breakfast?
Isis: Cereal.
Me:  Here you go sweetheart.
Isis: What took you so long?
Me: Well....
Isis: What's the matter, cat got your tongue?

Why do you compare both your kids to animals? Isis the lizard and Eliza the honeybadger. Then that makes you and Chris what kind of combo animal to produce these lovely animals? Hmmmmm
