Applying the life lessons we learn...sort of

My best friend Lela has been really sick with a stomach bug. Because she is pregnant there was some heightened concern for her and the baby and so today she went to the ER for some much needed fluids and rest. When I prayed for her I made mention of it and Parker, always listening intently picked up on it and when it was his turn to pray said, "Dear Jesus, I pray that Lela didn't swallow a poisonous frog. I pray that her little baby in her tummy doesn't get sick and that the poisonous frog didn't get the baby and Jovey doesn't eat one too.. AMEN."

Why does everything always come down to poisonous frogs? Toddlers are so one-track minded (see Life lessons from a 4 year old post if none of this made sense).

I'm glad that I didn't eat a poisonous frog for sure, Parker! That would have been super bad. We will stay away from those little suckers for sure! They sound super dangerous!

Haha... always an education with kids around. If you don't know something, you will either learn it quickly, make up an answer on the spot, or try the distraction technique!

Love ya girlfriend and glad you (and baby) are feeling better!!PLEASE no more poisonous frogs for awhile okay?
