Are you feeling alright? You're looking PAIL...

Asa: Mom, do you remember that homeless man that we saw in St Augustine last week?

Me: Yes.

Asa: Why is he homeless?

Me: I don't know. There are lots of possible reasons.

Asa: Why can't someone help him? Why doesn't someone just ask him to live with them?

Me: Umm....I don't know.

Asa: We have a big house....why didn't WE just ask him to come stay with us?

Me: Hmmm......

Asa: What I really want to know Mama, is why did we just pass him by when he needed help?

Me: I don't know how to answer that, Ace.

Asa: We could go back and find him. I would recognize him. He had white hair and a white beard, green eyes, gray teeth, black on his shirt and pants...I know I could find him. Maybe we could go back and take him some food...and money...and a Bible. Can we go, Mama, can we?

Me: *speechless*

I think my son is a born missionary...

Me: "Are you finished with those Cheetos?"

Ethan: "Not yet."
Asa: "Almost."

Me: "Well, when you're done, don't wipe your hands on my bed or your clothes, ok?"

Ethan: *eye roll*
Asa: *crunch crunch*

Me: "Seriously, wash your hands in the sink, don't wipe them on my bed."

Ethan: *big exasperated sigh* "Ok."

Me: "I just don't want Cheetos on my bed, that's all."

Ethan: *stern look* "You're trying to make us women."

Apparently, making a mess also makes you a man.

"Mommy, will I be able to fly in Heaven?"
"I don't see why not."
"Good! I can't wait to go there!"

"But before I go there I want to go to Branson.....yep...those are the two places I want to go. Branson and Heaven."

We went to walmart a few nights ago. We went looking for halloween decorations for Ethan's haunted house (mad scientist lab). They didn't have any. But, it wasn't a total loss. The lady who rang up our items was missing several teeth and the ones that were there were mostly black. Asa, in regular Asa fashion, looked at her, looked back at Justin, looked at her again...turned to Justin and said,
"Daddy, you know what I think? I think SHE looks like she should be in a haunted house!"
Guess he thought maybe we could hire her....

Priority for this week:
Go to Wal-mart and find a Asa a TACT filter.
