Funny Conversations!

There have been a number of funny conversations at our house lately a couple of the best are as follows:
Emma: "You are a really good step mother mom!"
Me: "I am not your step mother Emma, I am your real mom. A step mom is when a child's
mom has died or when a child gets another mom because of divorce or something. Like when
Cinderella's mom died so she got a step mom."
Emma: "Oh, so if you died then we would have a step mom?"
Madi: "I don't want you to die mom."
Me: "Yes, Emma if I die then you would get a step mom if your dad got remarried, but I am
not going to die for a long time Madi so it is okay!"

About then Joseph came home for lunch and we had a blessing on the food. Madi asked to say it.
Madi: "Dear Heavenly Father, please help mom to die, I mean me to die, I mean please help me and mom to NOT die!!"
We ended the prayer and Joseph looked at me,
Joseph: "What was that all about?"
I proceeded to recount our conversation on step moms and dying!


Another time,
Madi: "What if Dad were evil and killed all of us?"
Me: "Daddy isn't going to get evil and he isn't going to kill us!"
Taylor: "Well, he could get evil if someone made him that way and then if he was killing
everyone in our town he would probably kill us too!"
Me: "He isn't going to become evil, do you know how I know that?"
Taylor: "Because you don't believe in magic!"
Me: "No, I know evil is real and Satan is real, but your Daddy reads his scriptures and prays
and goes to the temple and as long as he does these things he won't become evil like Satan."
Madi: "So Dad won't kill us?"
Me: "Right!"
Emma (from the bathroom) yells: "Because Dad doesn't want to be on Satan's team."

So to sum if up, my kids think I am a nice step mom and that their Dad may some day become evil and go on a killing spry! Where do they come up with these things?! I think we better watch a little less TV from now on!
