Man Cannot Live by Pancake Alone
Yesterday at breakfast Anders was having blueberry pancakes and blueberry-pomegranate juice. He kept tearing off a chunk of pancake and dipping it his juice. As he was doing so, he kept saying, "This is my body broken for you."
Some kids play with their food, others have communion.

Potty Beauty
Nils is one who finds beauty in everything. Today were were in restrooms in a few different stores. Upon two separate occasions, Nils declared regarding the shorter urinal he was using, "Awww, how cute!" I'm not exactly sure what makes a urinal cute, but Nils is the only one who can get by declaring it so.

It's a Smooth Ride
Nils: I'm going to ride on my Speedo bike. (I'm hoping he meant speeder, as they were playing Star Wars).

In the Eye of the Beholder
Nils: (upon seeing Miss Piggy in the Muppet Christmas special) Wow! The pig is beautiful!

Days of Old
Me: I had to do plenty of work on the farm when I was your age.
Anders: Yeah, but that was the old days. Besides, I don't want to milk a cow and have to touch those yucky things.

Do Unto Others
Anders apparently told his bus driver that it was Nils' birthday today. When she dropped Anders off after school she yelled, "Happy birthday!" to Nils.
Nils returned the favor and yelled "happy birthday" right back.

Life Wisdom
Beth and I heard this in an ad on the radio once: "You don't have to be a chic magnet as long as your car is." I felt sorry for that guy in the Yugo with a "Le Bra" on the front who we passed shortly after.

Sin Boogie
Here's Pastor Cecelia's analogy for sin from today's sermon:
Sin is like being horrible at the Electric Slide: "you're jackin' yourself up and hurtin' others in the process, but you keep on going anyway." Thankfully, there are friends who pull you off the dance floor. That's loving accountability.

Timing is Everything
Me to Anders this morning upon him waking up: Happy birthday! How does it feel to be five?
Anders: I'm not five yet.
Me: You're not? But today's your birthday!
Anders: But I haven't had that thing with the presents and the games yet.
Anders: I'm not five yet.

The Lecutres
So while we were camping at Devils Lake earlier this week, the boys and I hiked over to
the amphitheater while Beth was napping in the car after a trip over to a playground in the park. I go up front and show them that sometimes they have a naturalist do a presentation at the podium or show a film here.
So next Anders goes up behind the podium and starts giving a speech on conifers (their knowledge of which comes from a They Might Be Giants song on their kids' CD). After he's done, Nils and I clap. And then Nils goes up to give a speech. I couldn't hear him (let alone see him) to know what he talked about, but it was probably also on conifers.
They keep alternating giving lectures 4 or 5 times. Mostly on conifers each time, I think. Anders did one on plants, trees and flowers where he was gesturing with his arms around him. I tried hard not to laugh because he would take it personally, but it was quite humorous. And on Nils' turns he stands behind the podium so I couldn't see anything at all of him--nor could I hear a word he said. Thankfully, he would peek around the side when he was done so I would know to clap. It was the best 15 minutes I've spent at a lecture.

We Don't Even Have MTV
Me: Nils, why don't you have pants and undies on?
Nils: Because I'm a rock star!

Reptile Heaven?
While one of the pastors was praying over communion (and our unity) at church today, she mentioned "eternal life." To which Anders queried, "What's turtle life?"

Religious Holidays
"Is it still Easter? Easter and Christmas are my two favorite days. My next most favorite day is when I get to wear shorts," said Anders at the breakfast table this morning.

Long-Term Memory
As I was shaving my beard down to a goatee today, Anders old made sure I wasn't going to shave it all off "like in the good old days when I was little."
