Post-Its surround my computer armoir.  I have to-do lists for the day, week and possibly even season.  I have a list of posts that I need to catch up on.  But they will take more thought and energy than I have.

So tonight, I’ll share the words of wisdom from the mouth of Sophie.  In no particular order.

One day after Sophie’s nap…

Me:  Do you want to take off your Pull-up and go put on your big girl panties?

Sophie:  (scowling)  NO!  I wanna’ wake up some!

After picking her up from her church class one Sunday…

Sophie:  Jesus KICKED me!

Collective thoughts of other members in car:  HUHHHH?

Today at my friend’s re-sale shop while talking with a new customer…

Sophie:  MOM!  Stop talking to that lady!  Talk to me.  (This said from behind the counter while she sat on a stool like she owned the place.)

Me:  (Said to customer in between muffled laughter.)  I’m so sorry.  (Then to Sophie.)  Sophie, that’s rude!  (Giggle, giggle.)

Sophie: (Continues to act as though she’s engaged in our conversation.)  …And then I just play volleyball with Courtney.  And one time…when I was three years old (uh, you’re two and a half), when I was at Pri-School (um, that’s Pre-School, and you haven’t started yet..but continue with your rambling)…blah, blah, blah, blah… BURP!  I BURPED.

I’m so proud.

Tonight, sitting on the couch…

Sophie was being mean to Cammie.

Me:  Sophie, STOP being mean!  Be ye kind! 

Sophie:  (Through clenched teeth.)  I’M A HAPPY PERSON!

Cammie:  She’s been saying that all day.

Me:  Through clenched teeth?

And now I’ll add that the be ye kind is indeed an attempt at teaching Scripture memorization.  Her first Scripture learned:  Children, obey your parents.

Now we just have to get the application down.  It’s a start.

I’d also like to add that she really is learning a lot in church.  And she LOVES Worship.  LOVES, LOVES to Worship.  However, she did say in the car the other day that Jesus picks his boogers.

We’re working on it.
