on TV

conversation #1

Kirsten:  Mommy, I really would like that Dora thing for Christmas.
Me:  Really, honey?
Kirsten:  Yes, and on TV it says it's cheap at Toys R Us on Fridays and Saturdays.

apparently, the Toys R Us advertising plan is working on my 5 year old. . . . and apparently my daughter watches enough TV to pick up on when the Christmas sales are going on when things are "cheap!"

conversation #2
(after her sister was sent to her room for a sibling "quarrel")

Kirsten:  Mommy, when I go in my room and talk to Jesus, can I ask him to forgive me?
Me:  Of course, sweetheart.  Jesus will always listen to you.

phew!  I'm not the worst parent after all!
