Kid-isms

**When Will came home from school and I asked him what happened at school that day, he responded that their class had had a visit from an author who wrote a book about a Christmas Train. Then he said, "It's about a real story that really happened a long, long, long, time ago - before the dinosaurs were even invented!"

**Jessa and I were looking at one of the children's picture books of the Book of Mormon when she pointed at a man with dark hair and a dark beard holding onto the rod of iron from Lehi's dream. She said, "I know who THAT is. That's Jesus. . . " Thinking she was done, I told her, no, that wasn't Jesus. She said, "I know. It's Jesus's. . . Apossible!"

**Jessa was lying on the floor while Jeff and I were looking on the computer at some banking stuff when out of nowhere she says, "I wish I would die today." Jeff and I looked at each other. What was going through her little head that made her say such a thing? Jeff asked her, "Why do you wanna die today?" She explained, "So I don't have to die anymore." Did she wanna get it over with? After taking a second to try to process her train of thought I said, "But if you die today, you'll miss your birthday on Sunday." She thought for a second then said, "I'll just ask Jesus to take me to my birthday."
