Friday Humor – out of the mouths of babes

Just received this from our friend Em (who blogs over at American Princess – she sometimes lets me sit at the foot of the throne and tap out a coupla guest posts there)

So I’ve been visiting friends in Louisiana for the last few days, partly to catch up because I haven’t seen them in forever, and partly because I love Mardi Gras and thanks to a special surprise, I was actually able to go this year and enjoy it. I love everything about the south: the food, the pace of life, the fact that my skin doesn’t get dry and that people walk around with funny hats on for no reason and don’t get self-conscious. But most of all, I love it because of interactions like this:

We were sitting around the kitchen table after Bacchus, when a two year old child came running in brandishing a toy shotgun (with real cocking and smoking action!), aiming and firing at nothing, shortly followed by his mother.

Mother: "Give me that gun!"

Child: "No!"

Mother: "Give ME THAT GUN!"

Child: "No!"

Mother takes the gun.

Child cries.

Father (from Kitchen Table): "Give him back that gun, Nancy Pelosi!"

Another child (also from Kitchen Table) bursts into tears: "Don’t call mama that, Daddy!!!"

I believe the children ARE our future.

Thank God.
