Lunchtime conversation

Bram: "When I am a daddy I am going to fight the bad guys!" (He is play fighting in the air)

Me: "Does daddy fight bad guys?"

Bram: "No."

Anders: "Aiden's a bad guy. Daddy fights him."

I shook my head no. He responds: "Saiden is a bad guy. Daddy fights him?"

I explained that we fight him by being good.

Anders: "You're good every day mom. Except for that one day when you didn't get enough sleep.  Satan was telling you to wake up."

Me, laughing, "Actually he was telling me to be angry because he doesn't want us to have happy families. Like how he tells you to make your brother scream some more,  because he doesn't want us to be happy."

Anders: "Does Satan have a family?"

Me: "No."

Anders: "That's why he's angry."

I loved every single minute of this conversation!

Out of the mouth of babes...

Laying in my bed, Anders comes in:

"mom, you want to come to the living room with me?"

"I had a bad night and am really tired."

"What happened? Was it me?"

"No, it was Astrid. She went to bed really late and then woke up screaming in the middle of the night."

"Oh, that is a bad night. That's what grown-ups have to do."

Words of wisdom right there. He made me laugh out loud!
