The wise one


That day when I went, they were the only two left to be picked up in the classroom... Has that ever happened to you?  Kari dashed towards me excited as usual screaming "mommy".  Kayla however walked over a little disgruntled.  "Mommy you are sooo late! Ugh....Look, everyone already went home, only us are still here..!"  Sad face.  "Sorry baby, it's one of those days... I 'll try to be earlier next time..."

On the way to school we stopped at a traffic light.   With the new "Vacation Bible School" songs playing,  I sang and signed happily with Kayla.  Looking in the rear mirror I noticed that Kari was very quietly focused looking forward.   "What's the matter, Kari? Why don't you sing with us?!"   Solemnly she replied, "well...Both of you are singing and signing.  Since nobody is looking ahead, I have to pay attention to see when the light turns green!"

That... put me to shame.

These are my sassy girls.  ❤
