Ellie-isms, Zach Attacks and Momese
The Ellie-isms are late! July was a month of quotes not just from our dramatic princess, but from the whole family. So, this month we’ve got a collection of Ellie-isms, Zach Attacks and Momese!
Isabel: “Only grown-ups can play with fire – right, Mom?”
Zach, ever so pensive: “I tink water is wet.”
Isabel: “Them look like balls, but them is ashley marbles.” (Translation: ashley = actually)
Zach’s favorite joke: “Hey, I know!”
Me (or Rick): “What do you know?”
Zach: “A cow!” He then bursts out laughing. If you get the joke, please explain it to me. In the meantime, I love watching him tell it.
Ellie to Aunt Tracy: “Auntie, Auntie! I fell down and Mommy and Daddy and Zach take me to the hostibol and I got stickers on my chin! (Translation: We went to the hospital to get stitches.)
Me to Zach, who was in the tub: “Please, don’t color your penis.”
Me to Isabel: “Stop dancing naked in front of the garbage men!!”
Zach: “Mommy, I tink Daddy in charge.”
Ellie to Rick after he killed a spider: “Thanks, Dad! You’re my big, strong, get-rid-of-bugs guy.”
A picture of salvation
Big Fish, a rock and a parallel. Sometimes we fail to understand salvation fully. We’re grateful for Christ, but, if we’ve been in Christian circles for a long time, it can be easy to take for granted what He has done for us. We can forget the prison from which we have been saved.
