Conversations with Silas

Silas: Mom, I think I know what I want to be when I grow up.

Me: Oh, really? What's that?

Silas: A policeman.

Me: That sounds great! What made you decide you wanted to be a policeman?

Silas: Well, policemen get to eat donuts every day!

Later on in the week as we are driving along enjoying the silence.........

Silas: Mom, I'd sure hate to try and plant a tree if I didn't have any arms. That'd be tough. REALLY tough. Glad I don't have to do that. Aren't you glad, too, Mom?

Me: Um.......(trying not to burst out laughing).....yep, Silas. I'm glad, too. Really glad I don't have to plant a tree with no arms.

How could you not love this kid? Thank you, Lord, for children who make us laugh!
