Children's interpretations of phrases...
It's official, I do have a job! I am working for the YMCA before/after school program. I was hired as a site director and will tell more about it later. I have been working at the camp to train until school starts next week. Here is a silly story about something that happened while I was there...
I have been really working with the 6 year old boys group and little boys love to talk about discus ting things. There was about 5 of them who were talking about burping and farting and such so I finally said..."no more talking about bodily functions..." one of the other boys said, "okay, lets talk about barfing." Before I could speak another boy piped up and said "NO, that is also a bubbly malfunction!" They all looked at me to see if he was correct but I couldn't stop laughing. So, the new thing at Y camp is "bubbly malfunctions" and the little boys are yelling at each other..."no more bubbly malfunctions!"

I LOVE that story! It's so cute at that age, isn't it? Sometimes it seems like Caleb is a 6 year old with the things he says. I'm looking forward to hearing more about your new job and all the other fun things kids say! :)
