Tonight we had an enjoyable time as a Chile Field Team, getting together for English praise and worship and sharing a yummy meal together.
The only catch was heading home rather late for a school night, with two very tired and grumpy girls who insisted that they did not like school and pleaded not to have to attend tomorrow.
They both informed me that when they grow up and live on their own they will most certainly not go back to school ever again.
Eva's definition of growing up is becoming a teenager, but of course I had to burst that bubble and let her know that even when she is a teenager she will be required to go to school!
To which she cried out in frustration, "If I can't be a teenager, then ... I wish I was never born!"
Okay, so where exactly does she come up with this stuff?? And what would you have said in response??

I would say (out of curiousity), "It is very important for you to be a teen ager. What teen agers do you know? What is fun about being a teenager?" Grandma
and this is only the beginning. Our children are so much fun!!!!! just love them to death and say too bad!!! the next morning get them to take a good shower and tehy will be fine. everything is fixed with a warm shower.

It's a good time to remind them that trials make us who we are, we can allow them to make us grouchy or make us joyful never-giver-uppers. And (this would work with Alana, anyway) youhave to be a teenager to become a grown up so you can get married and become a mommy=)
