Faith: 3-Year-Old Style

Today at church, Tyler saw a man stand up and walk out of the chapel. It was a large stake meeting today, so we had never seen this man before. He was older and had a head full of white hair, and a white, neatly trimmed, but longer, beard. Tyler turned to me and asked LOUDLY, "Hey, where's Heavenly Father going? What's He doing?"

Not Quite Getting the Knock Knock Jokes

A funny conversation I overheard today...


Sam (Tyler's buddy in the picture above), "Hey Ty, knock knock"
Tyler, "Who's there?"
Lisa (thinking to myself), "Tyler knows what knock knock jokes are? I didn't know that!"
Sam, "Boo"
Tyler, "Pooh? Winnie the Pooh?" (see how his mind goes directly to movies? I tell you, the kid is beyond obsessed!)
Sam, "No, Boo!"
Tyler, "Come on in, Pooh! Welcome to Tyler's house!"
Sam, "No, Ty, Boo! Boo! You are supposed to say Boo Who!"
Tyler, "Mom, Sammy keeps saying Poo! That's a potty word. We don't say that at Tyler's house."
Sam (getting more and more frustrated every second), "No I don't! Tyler, say Boo Who so I can say it's just a joke, you don't have to cry!"

I finally intervened once Sam was near tears because Tyler was just not getting it and Ty kept telling on him for saying naughty words. But since I was laughing so hard I was the one crying, I am sure that they were both confused. Luckily, fruit snacks solve most problems when you are almost 4.
