"
My story is important not because it is mine, God knows, but because if I tell it anything like right, the chances are you will recognize that in many ways it is also yours… it is precisely through these stories in all their particularity, as I have long believed and often said, that God makes himself known to each of us more powerfully and personally. If this is true, it means that to lose track of our stories is to be profoundly impoverished not only humanly but also spiritually."

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Instead of discussing the hilarious things my kids do under "Teaching Tidbits," I will now title the posts "Out of the Mouths of Babes," as I am not currently teaching but instead nannying for Nolan and Bella. Here is the newest story.

We were playing a game by the makers of Cranium. It is similar to Cranium, super fun, but has a cool timer and etch-a-sketch thing-a-ma-jig. To make a long story short, when it was my turn the kids had to guess what I thought was the first thing people noticed about me (when they first met me). I wrote down my personality, thinking that the kids might say I was fun or funny or nice or something along those lines. The actual responses?

Nolan: Your head.
Bella: Your earrings.

Awesome.
