A Cog in the Works

Ruth was holding Joseph.  It was about time for him to nap, but she didn't want to give up her turn quite yet.

Mama: OK you can hold him a little longer, but bring him to me if he starts to get cranky or fall asleep.  I don't want him sleeping in the school room.
Ruth: OK

A few minutes later ...

Ruth (bringing me a grunty, wiggly baby): Here you go, Mama.  He's starting to crank up.

Henry Strikes Again

A few weeks ago, Matt went on a business trip.  The following week while he was gone at work, Henry looked out the window and saw an airplane.

Henry:  Oh, look!  I think that's Daddy's plane!
Mama: No, Henry, Daddy is not on that plane.  He's at work.
Henry: Oh.  Well, I hope some day Daddy will take us on his plane.  I think his plane will have TV and pizza.

Yesterday, Joseph was wearing overalls.

Henry: Oh, Joseph looks like a farm!

Today our Pastor's wife was at our home.  Henry wanted her to toss the ball with him.

Henry (throwing her the ball): Fetch, Mrs. Bullock!

Oh, my.  Never a dull day with Henry!
