TTT - The Ten Commandments

Last Friday evening, we were sitting around the supper table with our visiting friends Steve and Claire and their two children James and Brielle. Jeff, as is his custom, read a short devotional before we prayed and began to eat; and the topic on that night was the Ten Commandments. After we started eating, I asked the boys if they could name one of the Ten Commandments. I knew Josiah would be able to come up with something; but it was David who spoke up first with this reply, "Ummm...brush your teeth?" :) Well, no, not exactly, my dear boy; but I am glad that you realize the importance of good dental hygiene!

My amusement continued when Josiah said, "That could go under 'Honor your father and mother'!" True, true. It certainly could. :)

My parents were eating with us, of course; and as soon as Dad heard the conversation, he said, "Sounds like a TTT to me!" I laughed and reached for a pencil and paper to write it all down. These bits of conversation are too precious to let slip away.

You're right, they are. I love these moments in this phase of life!

I laughed the first time one of my kids said, "That's a Tiny Talk mom, write it down!" You can let it pass by, or we surely do forget!

LOVE the dental hygenist!

Happy TTT!

This is becoming one of my favorite weekly posts. I wish I could remember the great little bits I get every day. Will write more on other comments...

That's so cute! :) We've been watching a great video on the ten commandments - I need to send you the link!! The kids {and I} could remember them all after only watching the short clip twice!
