The Fall Vegetable

Me:  Okay (talking to Laci and Leyton), let's say our scripture.  Ready.

Them:  Yeah!

Me:  God...

Them:  God ...

Me:  God is...what?

Leyton:  (In a very matter of fact tone)...clean!

Me:  Did you say clean?

Leyton:  No, I mean yeah! He's clean.

Me:  I imagine He is quite clean.  But, how about.  God is...love.  1 John 4:8

Laci:  Tell me a story!

Me:  Okay, let's sing Zaccheus (so we all sing along).

Leyton:  WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.  

Laci:  Okay, let's sing "Somewhere Out There" (she and I proceed in high-pitch off key unison)...

Us together:  ..."Beneath the paaaalllleeee moonlight!"  

Leyton:  I SAID TO WAIT!!!!

Me:  Why?

Leyton:  Because it is time to go to the vegetable.  

Me:  The what?

Leyton:  (Very seriously).  Mommy, we got to go to the vegetable at church where we will wear our costumes and get candy.

Me:  Oohhh...the Fall Festival.  Yes, we are going there Saturday!
