My Cheese-Flavored Humble Pie

-Last week I had a Mom Moment that Jeremy dubbed "blog-worthy"-

Audrey woke up feeling sickish after her nap, so I took her to the couch where she could lay down while I got a few things done. Then I heard her say: "Maybe Jesus will help." I asked her to repeat herself, and heard: "Maybe Jesus will help me feel better."

Joy! I was beyond-thrilled to think that perhaps I've done something right as a mother, after all. So to take full advantage of the opportunity, I answered, "Of course He can. Let's ask Him." I knelt on the spot to pray with her. But she strongly objected.

And then I realized why. "No, no! Not Jesus, Cheese-Its!!"

She had been saying "Cheese-Its" all along! (There's nothing like crispy cheese crackers to make everything all better, you know.)

When I was able to stop laughing, I convinced her that Jesus would be able to help, too. A small prayer was said, and then--you guessed it--we feasted on crackers.

The End
