Little Friends And Food

Heyo all,

Yesterday and today have been filled with so much school. It has been really great, because for all six hours of class each day, I have felt present. Active in my own learning, focused, or whatever you want to call it. I felt like I was making the most of each day.

And then this afternoon, I came home and my brain was FRIED. Like eggs. I still had all this homework to do, but I did net feel like I could do it.

So I put down my stuff and did my chores. I really think that housework is just disguised therapy. 

About a hour later I left to babysit.  :D   Lets just do the highlights of that:

Me to three-year-old girl as she flips through a Frozen coloring book.

"Who is your favorite Disney Princess?" 

"Bacon."

Best. Answer. Ever.

Later she was in bed, seven-and five-year-old were grilling me.

"If you only eat candy or healthy food your whole life what would you eat?"

"Hmmmm, hard question. Would the candy still be bad for me?"

"No, but it would hurt you."

Okay then. "Healthy food, because that can be really good too."

Kids nod sagely. "Yeah healthy food is good."

"If you could only eat mud or trash what woul you eat?"

"Mud." I say hesitantly.

He shrugs, "I would choose trash, because I might find a rotten pizza or something."

What I am trying to say is these kids have their food priorities figured out and they made me laugh. Also the world is right when you get to hold a kid on you lap. Their trust, the innocence it just all awesome.

Hope you all are doing happy things.
