Pot-bellied piglets: made in China

Evan, 4-year-old pot-bellied piglet
Midgley number 5, Evan - seriously, what planet is this kid from? So, the other day chatting to his mom:
Evan: "Everything is made in China."
Sue: "No, Evan. You were made in Pretoria."
Evan: "No I wasn't. We're all made in China!"

China, achieving world domination one kids' toy, volleyball and plumbing fitting (and little boy, apparently) at a time ... I guess one can see where most products in Madagascar are from...

Then today, on his way home from "boys' club" with the other little 4-year-olds:
Sue: "What did you learn about today?"
Evan: "Just Jesus."
Sue: "What about Jesus?"
Evan: "When he was born."
Sue: "Oh, and where was he born?"
Evan: "On the moon!"

Perhaps he got a bit confused by the star bit of the story? I guess it also gives a new spin on the whole "man in the moon" story. I can just imagine him standing outside at night staring up at the moon wondering about what Jesus' house looks like up there. Kids and their perceptions - that's like an account I read yesterday about a six-year-old sharing her memory verse 1 Thessalonians 5:17 with her mom: "Pray without sneezing.

"... Be joyful always, pray without sneezing; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus ..." Why not? Makes sense - after all, it's really difficult to pray properly while sneezing ...

All five hooligans - send money, they clearly aren't eating enough! Except pot belly, of course.

  1. I love how their little minds work! YES my kiddos are full of mischief. The Lord knew I need the comic relief. :) I was pleasantly surprised to read the quote from my post yesterday. Thanks so much for linking up!
