This page is based on something my son said to me while outside in our backyard playing with his squirt gun. He started using it to aim at the plants and said "Look Mom, it's my squirt-gun watering can!".
Speaking of things that Timmy says....I have to write this one down....last night as I was walking downstairs with some wet towels from swimming at Grandma's house I noticed a red mark on the wall from one of my scrapbooking pens. Timmy had been playing with my red marker early that morning and I had asked him to go down and put it back on my scrap table when he was done. I am guessing that the large white wall on the way down to the basement was just too much of a lure for him to pass up and he decided to take the pen out for a little spin on his way to return it to my desk.
I called up the stairs to him and asked him to come down. I pointed to the red mark on the wall and asked him if he had used my marker to make it. He looked at me and I could literally see the wheels turning in his head as he decided how to answer. A few seconds later his answer was that it wasn't him that did it but a ghost. I responded that we have a ghost huh? And he said it wasn't just any ghost but a "Holy Ghost". Now you have to understand that we had been in church on sunday a couple weeks before this and everyone was wearing red to show love for the Holy Spirit and Pentecost Sunday. So Timmy made the connection that the red marker used on the wall was made not just by a regular ghost but by a "Holy Ghost"! Too cute! I told him that neither ghosts nor little boys should ever write on walls anymore. And then of course I had to go and call my Mom and tell her the story so that we could have a good lil chuckle! Out of the mouths of babes...or six year old boys!
