Lilyisms 3

Lily lately has been wondering a lot about death.

Not in a morbid, she only chooses the black crayon, call the psych kind of way.

Just figuring out what it means.

Sample:

Me: Lily, you know that you can never feed Sawyer without Mommy or Daddy’s permission, right?

Lily: Why? (If there was a word I could loathe, this might be it.)

Me: Because it could be dangerous.

Lily: Why?

Me: Because he might choke and it could kill him.

Lily: And then we’ll go get Jesus and He’ll bring him back to life?
(reference to Jesus raising the daughter of Jairus)

Me: That would be nice wouldn’t it? But for now, let’s just not feed baby Sawyer anything.


Lily: Oh no! Run! Mommy the dinosaur is going to get you.

Me: No, I’ll kill him with my pretend sword. Whack! There, he can’t get us now.

Lily: Oh yes he can! I have batteries… There! He’s alive again. Run!


And my last Lily moment I’ll share tonight:

Me: Lily, come help Mommy make pizza.

Lily: Yes! I can cuz I have the power to help!


One of the many ways we entertain ourselves to survive the winter cold/flu season is dressing up and being silly to escape the dreaded boredom.
