kids say the darndest things

ok, so the kids and i were driving around saturday, and i remembered that we have this meeting sunday to talk about what to expect the next year to prepare for colby's baptism. we are talking about different things, and i said that in a few years, he would be going on a mission. i told him that daddy, and his 2 aunts, tattie and monica, both served missions. he sat there contemplating for a while, then he goes, how come they're not still missionaries? did they get FIRED? from the tone of his voice, you could just tell he was asking, what bad thing did they do that they're not on missions anymore? it was so funny!! i explained that they were not fired, and that you only serve a mission for 2 years, and only 18 months for girls. and what age you go, and all the details. it was quite the conversation!!
and tonight, we were sitting at the meeting, and colby leans over to whisper in my ear, i can't wait until i'm old enough to be a dad. then i can BOSS MY KIDS AROUND!! i laughed, but i don't think nathan appreciated how funny that was! :)
aren't kids the best? kids truly do say the darndest things!!
