Overheard in the garage as we are about to leave on a bike ride . . .
Me: Matthew, hurry and run go to the bathroom.
Little Boy: Mom, I don't have to pee.
Me: Are you sure?
Little Boy: Uh huh.
Me: Listen, you can't even hold still to find your helmet. Now run inside and go pee.
Little Boy: I don't have to pee.
Me: Yes you do. Go pee.
{little boy runs inside}
Little Boy: {yelled from inside the bathroom} Mom! You where right! I did have to pee! You always know everything.
Me: Yes. That is why you should listen to me.
Little Boy: How do you do that, Mom?! You just know everything just like Jesus!
{The possibilities of his belief in this, my newly discovered omniscience, dance happily through my head and yet, I cannot bring myself to answer definitively in the affirmative}
Me: Well, maybe not quite as much. {I did wish the little boy to believe me all-knowing, but I did not wish to be struck down on the spot}.

I love it too!
well, i know your countenance is just like Jesus'
Inspiration, or is it experience that allows moms to know all... I think a little of both, but the kids don't have to know that, just that we do know all....and to listen.
That is a sweet story, Emily. I hope it takes him years to discover otherwise! Sadly some of my older kids think that THEY know more than me!
