The Mind of a Child. Enter at your Own Risk.

There are days where all you should do is silently listen as your child speaks what's on her heart. Where the only right response is to just nod. make purposeful eye contact. let them know that you understand.

Then there are days where a heartfelt conversation blossoms in the spur of the moment. Those are times that you have to grab onto before they are *poof* gone. You know, since their attention span for a topic that runs deep is...in a word... short.

And then there are days where you all you can do is look at your child. baffled by what just came out of their mouth. knowing that you are left with little option for an intelligent response.

Well, yesterday was one of those days.

Selah (4), who was watching Raegan dance around the room, suddenly spoke up in all seriousness....

"When Raegan gets killed by a tiger, I will be sad."

Hm. Not sure where to go with that one, Selah. Um, would a muffled "uh-huh" be sufficient? Cause really, I've got nothing.
