You know those moments you have with you kids where you just feel so incredibly blessed that you are the one God trusted with that tiny person? The conversations where you share and explain something deep and important to them are amazing to me. I cherish those opportunities.
One of those came about yesterday. Siri was getting ready for her day, and put her right hand over her heart. She slowly and carefully recited the Pledge of Allegiance. I watched her with a lump in my throat. What a beautiful site.
"Sweetheart, that was amazing! I'm so glad you learned that!" I starting things off on a positive not. "Thanks mommy", no biggie to her. "Honey, do you know what that means? I mean, when you say it, do you know what you're saying?"
Her hand went to her hip, her head tilted and her eyes rolled. "It means..." in a very matter of fact tone, "that God is invisible. Duh, Mom."
My bad.
