The things our children say
We watched "Superman" the movie the week before last and the kids of course LOVED IT. First, I'm impressed just how well that movie has "held it's own" over the years...it still stirs in me the same emotions it did when I saw it oh way back when. Well, the kids and I were outside, doing what I don't remember, when Jane Beth asked Will, "How many Supermans are there?" I'm thinking the movies, right? Will wasn't, here was his answer...Will said, "Two, the one we saw and dad".
I still shake my head when I remember it...to be thought of that way by one's children is so...humbling. I'm with me 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I see me get mad at others(whether I show it or not), I know the things I do wrong, etc, etc...to be thought of in that way is just...I don't think there's a good enough word to describe it. For those of you that don't have kids...you can only imagine, there's just nothing to compare it to.
