The other day, the kids were playing under my desk (Adina calls it her house), and had all her dishes spread out all over the place. They brought me a plate of "food" (actually, just the dishes with make-believe food and drinks on/in them). Clarence told me everything he'd made for me: chicken noodle soup with carrots, meat and noodles, there was meat on the plate, and he'd given me apple juice and milk to drink.
He sat down beside me on the couch and said:
I'm not hungry.
Me: Oh, you're not, how come?
C: Oh, I just had a beer.
Me: You what?
C: I just had a beer.
(It was all very nonchalant....totally not what I was expecting out of that conversation....but it sure made me laugh!)

Yesterday, he was talking about hauling bales...
C:I'm hauling bales to Danny's (Lyberg).
Me: Oh, you're hauling to Danny's?
C: No, he gave me some corn bales.
Me: Oh, I see...
C: I helped him haul hay and he gave me a load of bales.
This conversation also made me smile; Matt had helped my cousin Erik haul a bunch of corn bales last week, and his payment for it was a load of corn bales to take home. Clarence sure doesn't miss a beat!

We were saying prayers one night, and had finished our usual "Now I lay me....". We were on to our next section, where we ask God to bless all our family, and then name everyone. Adina has finally decided to start participating in prayers. She folded her hands, bowed her head right down to the blankets, and started repeating names after me.
Me: God bless Mark, Nathan, Mike, Mark, Nikki, Harley...
Adina: Mar, Nath, Mike, Mark, Dikki, Harley, all my hens,
Me: Grandpa Bob, Grandma Carmen
Adina: All my hens, Mom! All my hens.
Me: Oh yes, and all Adina's friends: Payton, Anna, Esther, and everyone else.
Then she was satisfied. And it sure was cute. :)
