Lily Says...


I have been thinking to myself that I should post this story, but for some reason I keep putting it off. It happened a few months ago, but I think it is worth remembering because it was so funny to me.
Lily had been playing outside with her brothers and all the neighbor kids. It was time for bed so I dragged her (probably kicking and screaming as usual) into the house. I laid her on the changing table and I changed her and put her in her pajamas. When I said 'OK Lils, are you ready for bed?" she holds up both of her hands (that are in fists) and says "What I do with these mom?" I hadn't noticed her hands balled up into fists till then and I say "What do you have?" she says "Pully Pully's" and opens her hands to reveal about four or five "roly polys'" (potato bugs) in both hands.
Of course I was shocked and I laughingly said "yeah...let's keep the bugs outside please." Crazy girl.

Ha ha. I love that she waited until after she was changed to let you know what she had in her hands. Patient girl. ;)

We were getting ready for the opening prayer when Kristi poked me and said look what I found. Her eyes were just shinning, she was so excited about it so I looked and almost screamed, she had a night crawler in her hand about 6 inches long. Yuk Yuk Yuk!

I remember when Cheryl was about Lily's age, or maybe a little bit younger, and I was outside doing some yard work with Cheryl playing close by. I heard a crunch and looked up to see Cheryl chewing on something. A quick inspection revealed a snail in her mouth. Yuck! At least Lily didn't eat the roly polys. You can be grateful for that.
