Stockton is learning to read and it's been a bit rough for both of us. After a particularly frustrating practice session, he turned to me and growled, "My wife WILL NOT know how to read!"
"Why on earth would you say that?" I asked him.
"So she can't say," he replied, adopting a high-pitched nasally girly voice, "My husband doesn't know how to read!"
He then proceeded to stomp out of the room.
He then proceeded to stomp out of the room.
After picking myself up off the floor where I collapsed in a fit of laughter, I knelt down to say a little prayer of thanks for funny little people and to petition the reading gods for a some help in this matter.

Oh, good luck! Stockton is a riot. I hope the reading Gods hear your prayers. She you soon.
Oh!!! And thanks so much for the article. It's been very impactful and I can't wait to have a face to face discussion with you and Steph come December. I hope you can make time for us. Thank you. You are so thoughtful. Your picture is hanging on my refrigerator.
I love it. I love the clever little things kids say. I also love that you thought to say a little prayer saying thank you for those times.
Hahahaha! He is hilarious!!!
Just darling! Jed and I just got a huge kick out of this. It's awesome and hilarious that he's already thinking of his future wife.
I hope you keep an "archive" of the things he says (and your big kids too) cause those are seriously the funnest things to read.
Michelle-that is too funny about his wife-isn't he 7? That reading bit can be really challenging. It's amazing to see how they progress! You are such a thoughtful, patient, loving mom, especially to remember to pray!
