I don’t often have opportunity to share tidbits from conversations with little folks–but yesterday, I had four-year-old Abigail and three-year-old Joseph spend the day with me. Their mother is recovering from the c-section that brought a third baby into the family, and their dad had to get back to work.
I thought this little exchange was definitely worth documenting:
Abigail: Do you have a baby?
Me: No
Abigail: Why not?
Me: Because I’m not married.
Abigail: Why aren’t you married?
Me: Because no man has ever asked me to marry him.
Abigail: Maybe because you’re old.
Me: (Laughing) Maybe
All is quiet for a while
Abigail:Maybe God’s still making your prince ready.
More silence
Abigail: Maybe God’s making him OLD!
Maybe so, Abigail, maybe so.

haha! that’s cute! Isn’t it fun to be thought of as “old” by a 4-year-old? (=
She’s right you know – God’s still “making” your prince. And He is still making YOU into someone’s Princess ;)
HA! =D That is so cute. And I’m with Casandra – people are still being “made”….OLD! ;D Ha! That’s hilarious.
That was great!
Oh my:) She can be so honest can’t she? I asked Abigail about your talk, and she said yes she said that…..but i made her laugh so I was being nice. Then she went on to say that everyone has to be old to get married:)
Glad you enjoyed my kiddos for the day, they had a blast with you. I heard all about the park and a glass rino:)
First of all, that’s GREAT that you took the kids; what a wonderful way to bless a “new” mom!
Second, this conversation is hilarious! I love how blunt and honest kids are. But ya know, sometimes they’re amazingly profound, too.
Thanks for sharing this TTT! :)
Out of the mouth of babes…
Love you!
THAT is deeply profound and hilarious all at the same time.
Of course, you are clearly FAR from old! LOL!
Happy TTT! WElcome!
