Conversations with Sarah

Well, today is Sunday and since we go to the late church service, it is a day for sleeping in.  Not for me, I guess.  I was up late Christmas shopping online and woke up at 6:45 ready to get out of bed.  It's gonna be a good day! :)  So...what to do in a nice quiet house?  While I should be cleaning up my study floor, I know there is carpet under there somewhere, I am choosing to blog instead. (This room is full of in progress scrapbooking projects, Girl Scout stuff and permission slips, etc.)

Yesterday, Sarah and I had two memorable conversations...

#1 After the Girl Scout Cookie University, we came home to wait for our friends to come over and play.  Our friends got a cat last week and today it is not doing well at all.  I was trying to explain to Sarah that the cat had surgery last week so that it couldn't have babies.  The vet thinks that the stress of the surgery caused some other underlying health condition to pop up and the cat might not make it. 

Anyway, Sarah said, "Maybe the cat was pregnant." I explained that the cat was a boy, so it couldn't be pregnant."  Sarah then said, "Well then why did he need surgery?  I quickly said, "So that it can not get a girl cat pregnant."  Sarah replied with "Huh? I don't understand." I told it was hard to explain and that seemed to be enough for now.  I wonder how long it will be until she comes back to me to answer that BIG question?  I pray that I will have the right words.


#2  Last night, we were watching Survivor in my bed all cuddled together and the kids started wrestling.  I told them if they didn't stop they would have to go in YONDER.  Sarah said, "Yonder?"  That's what Grandy and PaPa call the living room.  HA!  I called my dad so he could have a good laugh too. Over Thanksgiving we were tesing both my mom and dad about saying "Wrastling!"  Don't you just love Texas slang!
