Okay, so, not everything that comes out of Isa's mouth is desired. I just wrote a blog not that long ago about how cute she was sharing her love for animals, for her parents, and thanking different objects for their existence. Well, the other shoe drops occasionally.
This Sunday I was preaching a sermon on the concept of love. I was speaking about the glowing experience of love I felt when I first saw Isabel or when she tells everyone at the dinner table that she loves us. As soon as I got done saying this we hear out of nowhere, "You stink, daddy!" It was Isa shouting in the middle of church that I stink!!! How about that. I wasn't angry, just more embarassed. Shannon was over there trying to get her to say "I love you, daddy!" to compliment my sermon, but instead we heard "You stink, daddy!" Kids will say just about anything to get a rise out of us adults. I was reminded of the one time Shannon and I were at Broadway UMC here in Indianapolis and there were two kids sitting behind us who were squabbling with each other in the middle of a communal prayer. At the end of the prayer when it got silent you heard loudly, "ewh....your breath smells like glue." We lost it and could not stop laughing. Well, now it is my own daughter whose funny ways could not make us stop laughing. Certainly, out of the mouths of babes comes wisdom and compassion and truth, but perhaps in times when we need it most, comedy. Thanks, Isa, for letting the world know I stink.
