Kids Stuff

Kids make the world sunshine and lollipops.

While chilling with my favourite 2.5yr old boy yesterday, he was showing me his neatly lined row of "friends" (plastic animals):

Nathan: This is the lion. ROAAAAAAAAARRRR!!!
Jasy: Whoa! That's a ferocious roar! Does he eat people?
Nathan: No!
Jasy: Oh, he's a nice lion?
Nathan: Yes. That's part of his song. All the lions sing it together.

Today, I was helping out with the kids program for 3 -5 year olds at a church event. We were colouring booklets and the yellow page was supposed to represent what we thought heaven would be like. I doodled pictures of cotton candy, icecream sundaes, and lollipops. 4 year old Matthew who was sitting next to me, glanced at my page:

Matthew: What are those?
Jasy: Well this is an icecream cone.. and this is a lollipop! That's what's going to be in my heaven!
Matthew: That isn't very healthy.
Jasy: Oh, that's true. Do you think heaven has healthier things?
Matthew: Yeah. Do some brocolli.

On the white page (page of 'good stuff'), he told me to draw Iron Man.
