Things Kids Say

I am not sure who wrote this, but I would like to share this with you.

The teacher called on little Charlie, "Tell me what you know about George Washington. Was he a soldier or a sailor?"
"I think he was a soldier," replied Charlie.
"Why do you think he was a soldier?"
"I seen a picture of him when he crossed the Delaware and any sailor knows enough not to stand up in a rowboat."

Gobble to Goop from my son (five-years-old)- Squashed Up Bread and Sauce

If you ever want something good ask me. I have a good recipe. It is called squashed up bread and a sauce for all of you. If you have ketchup you can make a good sauce. You need oregano, garlic powder, onion powder and Italian seasoning as you like them. That is all you need. Mix the seasonings with the ketchup and just pour the sauce over the squashed up bread. The squashed up bread will be delicious. The end.

Strawberry Gelatin

Strawberry Gelatin

Dissolve 1 large package strawberry gelatin in 1 ½ cups hot water. Add 1 small can crushed pineapple -undrained- and 1 pound package frozen strawberries partially thawed.
Makes 8-10 servings.

Gobble to Goop from my son (five-years-old)- The bears and the fish

The bear was sitting in the bank. So was a 2 sitting in the side of the river bank. They used a van to get to the bank. At the bank they were catching fish with fishing poles. The end.

Peace For You

I do not know who wrote this, but I wanted to share it with you.
May today there be peace within.
May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are.
Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.
