God works his ticket in mysterious ways
God: "Thou shalt eat your greens."
Our Isaac’s defiance of authority continues unabated.
He simply refuses to do anything unless it benefits him in some instantly gratifying way. In short, unless the request is chocolate-shaped it will be refused.
Easter, however, has brought with it a new found respect for authority in our six-year-old boy, though not that of either his mother or father.
After I asked him to finish his dinner, he instantly hit back with: “No, you’re not the one in charge.”
I checked to see if my wife had returned home, she hadn’t, and continued. “Yes I am.”
“No you’re not,” he replied. “God is.”
The Easter story had obviously hit home. Isaac will now, it seems, only be taking his instruction from the highest authority.
Does the bible have the line: Thou shalt eat thy greens? If not, I may have to add it in crayon.
Haha, I like this. Kids are so funny when they “know it all”.
But I also liked the “jumpers” post you made and I’m sorry to see you’ve deleted it. Anyone normal could see that it was tongue-in-cheek – you took a rather dull story and gave it a twist. The lady involved still came out of it as a hero, I thought. Because I had replied I saw the angry replies you got too – they all turned up in my Inbox. What a bunch of humourless whiners. I think you should have either said “Sorry” or (and I prefer this option) defended your post.
We are not Americans but we seem to be catching their passion for constantly feeling “offended”. Ugh.
Thanks for your comments. I put the jumper story on hold rather than delete while I responded to the charity.
It’s not very pleasant being described as a “smug bottom”, but you have take the good with the bad …
