Last week I had visiting teachers over and Parker was watching a cartoon. He kept turning up the volume and I would keep turning it down. He kept saying "but I can't hear it!" One of my visiting teachers said we are almost done and we will get out of your hair. Well a few minutes later, we kept on visiting with each other. Parker turns to them and says, "Are you going to get out of my hair yet?" I was so embarrassed that he had said that!! They both just laughed and the one said, "well I gave him the words!" It was pretty funny. Then as they were getting up to leave Parker said, "are you finally getting out of my hair?" I can't believe this boy!!! I was embarrassed, but at the same time it was pretty funny. Sometimes he says things that I just look at him and think, "where did you get that from?" He keeps me thinking!
On another day he had been watching a church video about Jesus Christ and the resurrection and had been constantly asking me questions about Jesus. So throughout the day he would be asking me stuff like, "who is the mayor?" and "is he the president?" and "is he the leader of our world?" So I would have to answer him and try to explain how things worked. Later in the evening as I was unloading the dishwasher he came to me and asked, "mom will I be a Prophet when I am older?" It kinda took me a second to process what he had asked me. I looked at him and said, "very few people become prophets, you have to be a super good boy all the time to become a prophet." That seemed a good enough answer for him and he turned around and left. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT??? I love it when he watches something and it gets him thinking and asking questions. That in turn keeps me and my brain functioning. So from day to day I wonder what will he come up with next!
