Abee Quotes

Quote 1:

After reading a few Bible stories about the Holy Spirit & Jesus living in our hearts, Abigail looked puzzled, held up her fingers, and asked, 'Does that mean there's one, two, three, four, five. . .Jesus's?' To which Melis had the priveledge of explaining that there's just one Jesus who can be everywhere.

Quote 2:

Trying to use everyday situations to teach Abigail, I tried to seize the moment when she was eating grapes. I took a break from reading World Mag, where I was on a page that had a chalkboard with calculus on it. She asked what is that? I said, 'math.'

'What's Math?'

To demonstrate, I grabbed two of her grapes, and held one up. 'How many is this?'

'One.'

'Good.' Holding up the other one, I asked, 'How many is this?'

'One, Daddy.'

'So then if I put them together, what does that make?'

'Math!' She said excitedly.

Quote 3:

'I have boobies. Brenna has boobies. Mommy has big boobies. But not Daddy. He has nibbies.'
