Sometimes I make myself laugh. I’m quite the Sanguine , but I do enjoy being alone with just me. Really, I do entertain myself.
So, I was entertaining myself the other day reading over my old blog. Yes, I had a previous blog. There was a day when I wrote in non-anonymity. You know before I had the legions of readers. insert sharp sarcasm.
I found this post which still makes me laugh out loud. Hope you enjoy.

I wasn't planning on posting today, but the conversation I had with The Ringleader on the way home from church was just too postworthy to avoid.
He was in a very good and chatty mood. He explained that they learned how people have different skin colors and that some people make fun of them for that. This was an amazing insight as my son can NEVER remember what they learned in church or in school. So knowing that he learned and retained something was encouraging. Plus, it opened up great discussion regarding our adoption.
Somehow the conversation turned (and I have no idea how it got to this point), but the Ringleader started to talk about Adam and Eve.
He said, "you know they were naked. They didn't have any clothes so they had to have leaves. Adam had something tied around him. Eve did too and then she had to hold something because she had those...what are they called? You have them too? I cant' remember what they are called?"
I nervously said, "breasts?"
"Yes" he said. "She had breasts, so she had to hold leaves over her. So Adam had to do everything. He had to do all of the cooking and cleaning and everything because Eve had to hold her leaves."
"Hmm." I said "Since I'm a girl like Eve, maybe I shouldn't do anything. Maybe Daddy and you should do everything!"
"No Mommy! You don't have leaves! You have clothes! God made us all different like that . Some people He gave clothes and others He gave leaves. That's just how He made us."
Ringleader, you are right. That is just how He made us. However, it sure would be nice to sit around and just hold leaves every once and awhile.

My husband had to explain "booby underwear" to the 4 yr old boy. Glad I missed that one!
I'm glad God chose me to wear cloths instead of leaves. (leaves just aren't big enough.)
Oh my goodness that was so funny! I am still laughing! I would love to hang around holding leaves while everyone else works around here. LOL!
