Through the mouths of babes...
Motherhood is the most rewarding endeavor I've ever fully engaged myself in. It is full of joys and blessings and, as you'll experience in this entry, sometimes is so hilarious you can't stop your own giggles for the joys of your child!
I was lying in bed sick this morning and my daughter Eliana was taking great care of me. Part of that care was reading to me from a picture dictionary and giving me the meaning that came first to her creative mind.
desk: where papas work to make sure their kids are well feeded
coffee: a drink that Indian people drink (her Ammachi and Tha Tha are East Indian and guess what? drink coffee!)
girls: they are smart. sometimes they are naughty and sometimes they are happy.
apples: sometimes there are worms inside and they try to get satan into your heart (a combination of Snow White and the Garden of Eden, perhaps?!)
cowgirls: girls who take care of cows, like little farmers.
gorilla: never buy one
grasshoppers: insects that jump. God sent them to kill bad people. Sometimes people are sad because they don't have red blood to paint and their children die. Like in Prince of Egypt.
