Tiny Talk Tuesday *Updated*

The tiny ones are talking around here! Mary of Not Before 7 hosts a weekly Tiny Talk Tuesday. Visit her blog for more entertaining things to read!

HC: Dad. (in a confession like tone) I think I lost my marbles. (after much searching - I wish you could hear the inflection of this next line.)
HC: I have NO idea where I left my marbles!!!! (followed by "why are YOU laughing Mom?" if HC only knew!)

I only wish I would have heard this one with my own ears!!! Last night, while I was grocery shopping, HC said the following to my husband!
HC: God reminded me that you said to clean my room after my nap, but he was talking too soft so I could not hear him.

The other day we decided to do something hubby and I loved doing pre-kids. We were looking (via driving around - not going in) at houses for sale. We stopped at a few houses to take an information flyer.
HC: MOM! (with authority) That is NOT nice to steal every one's papers!! (Hubby and I thought this was hilarious! You had to hear her inflection!)

Words JB uses:
Dad has become "Daiyad" (God help us with this twangy speech! May it be temporary!)
Spot = "Spock"
Yeah = "Yayeeyah"
I need to take better notes of what he says. He says some zingers too! HC's are just hilarious and easier to remember! I will do better!

*Update*
So -ALL morning I've heard about "i wish i could find my marbles mommy! i wish i could find my marble!!!!" This begins to wear on your soul because, like the woman who badgered the judge (in the Bible) my daughter was driving me nuts! So, I finally decided to share a method with HC that I've used many times!!! I told HC about my method - I pray for God to remind me where I put whatever I've lost or whatever I've misplaced. I ask Him to remind me where I last put it or to reveal to me where it was moved.

We walked BACK into HC's room and we looked again. I truly had NO idea what this precious child did with her marbles. We looked in her room and this took a few minutes then I saw them. They had fallen behind her toy box. I looked everywhere on many searches in her room and never saw them until then. I showed HC where they were and we thanked God for opening our eyes to see them! Just thought I would share the end of this tiny talk with you! :)

I said I updated this post for you, the reader, and that isn't really true! I updated it for HC! As a record for her. Will she read this one day? I don't know! I hope so! My blog is a record of their life experiences and mine. I want her to know God hears her hearts cry, even when it is in search of missing marbles! I just wanted to set the record straight - for HC! She is the reason this was updated! God heard her prayer and I want HER to remember this!

Oh, these made me laugh out loud. Let HC know that I too have lost my marbles, but sadly they aren't behind the toy chest...

I love that you directed her to God. We need our children to know that Jesus claimed power and authority over ALL things and that includes everything from the right timing to move to where you left your marbles.

Oh, and God speaking too soft to hear...

You had a funny week :)
