Maggieisms

Our 5 year old is always surprising me with gems like these:

On the switch from sleeping in pull-ups to underpants, "I know God helped me stay dry last night."

"You know Mommy, I bet God loves people talking about him."

"If you commit a mortal sin, you go to Hell when you die... Don't do bad stuff Will."

As a mother knows her children better than anyone else, save God, I think Maggie might be the most likely of my brood to have a religious vocation. She is sweet tempered, always looking out for other folks, and thoughts of God seem to be forefront in her mind. Just as I have tried to nurture Will's gift for all things mechanical, I will do my best to guide and nurture Maggie toward what could be her calling.
