Overheard...

~ ...in a conversation that Josiah had this afternoon with our next-door neighbor (who will be 7 years old next month).

Josiah: You know what I want to be? A Mennonite. Cuz I like Old Order Mennonites, and I kind of feel like I am one. I know I'm not, but still...

Neighbor: You can be glad you're not one. I'm glad I am one, but you can be glad you're not!

~ ...in the bathtub a few nights ago.

Josiah (singing): Wade in the water. Wade in the water, children. Wade in the water. Oh-oh-oh, God's gonna trouble the water.

~ another tidbit about that wonderful kid: Josiah's latest burning question is why did God let all the dinosaurs die? Or more pointedly, why did God kill all the dinosaurs? My half-hearted suggestion that maybe it was so the dinosaurs wouldn't eat all the people didn't satisfy him, and he's determined to ask God about it when he gets to heaven.
