Two Conversations

This morning...

William: "Mommy, door stuck!"

Me: "Yes, it is stuck."

William: "Mommy, door won't open!"

Me: "I know. It can stay closed."

William: Pointing to the chain lock causing all his frustration, "No Mommy! Unzip door!"

What an interesting description.

Tonight at dinner, after discussing our "happies" and "sads" of the day...

Esther: "Mom, what makes you cry?"

Me: Thinking wow, what a deep question, I should try to give a good answer. "Well, when someone I love is hurt or very far away it can make me cry."

Esther: Looking thoughtful, "Oh, what else."

Me: "Sometimes when I feel the Holy Ghost it makes me feel so good I cry."

Esther: seeming a little disappointed, "Oh"

Me: "What makes you cry Esther?"

Esther: "Onions. When I hold an onion it makes me cry."

I think her mind had moved on from our previous discussion to what we were eating. She wanted to know which food makes me cry.
