#45 Can You Sing?

Brecken: Momma, can you sing?
Me: MmmmHmmm
Brecken: Let me hear you.
Me: (begin humming some little tune)
Brecken: No. Can you sing pretty??
Me: (ok, so my little tune wasn't cutting it.... belting out now like Aurora from Sleeping Beauty) AAAAHHH AAAHHHH AHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
Brecken: (cuts me off just as I'm getting going) No. I mean can you sing pretty. Like me.

Ok, world. I failed as a singer. Apparently I don't hold a candle to my four year old. My cute, little, vain four year old.

#44 Heavenly Clothes

Brecken: I love my outfit.
Me: It's pretty cute.
Brecken: Did Heavenly Father create it?
Me: Well, he didn't make the clothes, but he created what the clothes were made out of.
Brecken: (in total shock) What?? Heavenly Father didn't create clothes?? Who makes clothes????!!!!???

Apparently Brecken thought that the clothing industry had direct connections with Heaven. Who else could create such fashions as polka-dotted skirts, striped shirts, and neon colored leggings?
