Overheard at Home (sort of) 3/22/2015

In Sunday school, Sam's class was talking about Jesus healing the lame man who was brought to him by his friends.  They carried him to a crowded house where people were gathered around Jesus.  They couldn't get to him, so they hoisted this lame man on a mat up to the roof - then dug a hole in the roof and lowered the lame man down to Jesus.  (What a beautiful picture of friendship and persistence!)

Sunday School Teacher: Before we go any further...does anyone know what LAME means?
Sam looks around and raises his hand.  Finally, puts his hand up.
SS Teacher: Yes. Sam.
Sam: Um...not that interesting?

That's my boy.  He knows the real meaning of LAME.

Sitting at the breakfast table at 7:00am.

Sam: Did you know bananas have names?
Jason: Really? Bananas have names?
Sam: Yeah.  They have tags on them that say their names.
Me: Oh...like Chiquita and DelMonte.
Sam: Yeah. I ate a banana one time named Frank.

Mo and Sam playing on the back deck.  Mo is SCREAMING, and Sam is making a high-pitched squawking sound.

Me:  What in the WORLD are y'all doing?
Mo:  Don't worry, Mama.  We are just playing.  I'm the crazy lady, and I'm after his bird.

Of course.

Thanks to Instagram...I'm in the world of social media.  Here's a rundown on our year by Instagram "likes."  Pretty much sums it up, though.
