Sometimes he says sweet things.

Last week Parker and I were driving to pick up David and his friends from school when Parker said something I probably will never forget. Don't get me wrong, he has many of these moments, but this one will stick to my heart for a while.

Parker: Mommy, I saw Jesus.

Me: Oh, yeah? Where? (I looked around thinking maybe there was a billboard or something he was talking about)

Parker: When he made me.

Me; Oh, yeah?

Parker: Yeah, he made me. Then when he was done I went and sat down while he made you guys. I turned around and saw him.

Me: (with a lump in my throat and watery eyes.) You did? That's awesome Bubba!

Parker: Yeah mommy, me and Jesus are good friends.

Me: I'm glad Bubba. That makes me happy.

I kept driving replaying this conversation in my head so I wouldn't forget anything so I could tell Dave the next time I talked to him. As i kept driving I turned onto a street that had houses on one side but desert on the other and the following was said.

Parker: Wow, people live way out here?

Me: Yup.

Parker: Oh, Jesus made their house's?

Me: Um, no, not really. Construction workers made them.

Parker: OH! You mean the Laminates?! Laminates made them?!

Me: Um, no. Construction workers. (giggling a bit by now)

Parker: Mom, Jesus likes laminates too.

Me: Yes honey, he does. That's right.
