"I just wanna'...put you on my spaghetti!" -- the woman in the bathroom who tried to make out with everyone
A conversation with my (other) niece:
Me: Why were you being bad at church?
Boo: Because my daddy put me with the spiders.
Me: You're daddy put you with the spiders???
Boo: Yes. :::serious nodding and finger wagging::: That is a sin.
Everyone within earshot: :::rofl:::
Me: Yes, I think it is. :::scandalized glance at her daddy:::
Boo: :::pointing to crucifix::: What is that on Jesus?
Me: Those are nails. Do you know why He died on the cross?
Boo: Yes, we saved Him and He went to Heaven.
Me: Well, He saved us so we could go to Heaven. Do you think he loves you very much to do that for you?
Boo: Yes.
Me: So maybe if you're good in church that would be a good way to say you love Him?
Boo: ...
Me: You think?
Boo: Yes, but...Aunt Manny?
Me: Yes :::feeling all smug and good-auntish:::
Boo: Is Jesus wearing panties?
Luckily, when I have writer's block, I always have kids around me.
