two conversations from today

conversation #1

Sarah: Mom, some kids at school are saying that there is no Santa Claus.... that the parents do it.

Me: Well, I believe in Santa, and I'm 40 years old.

Sarah: I think they think they're just too big to believe in Santa 'cause little kids believe in him and they want to be more grown up. Besides, there has to be a Santa because the parents can't afford to buy all that stuff.

(she still does believe)

conversation #2

Ben: Mom, are there hungry people in Africa?

Me: Yes, in some parts of Africa they are starving, but in other parts they have food.

Ben: I want to ship a bucket of rice over there for the hungry people.

( I asked him why he was wondering about this and he said I mentioned it a long time ago and he's been thinking about it.)

From the mouths of babes.
