Funny things kids say

I like to sing, but for good reason, you don’t like to hear me sing. I know this and respect it but still, I like to sing.

That means that my family has to suffer. There is a song that I sing to Josh and Kate when they don’t feel well. It’s called “Road to Zion”, a ballad by a Christian rock band in the 70s. Don’t ask. I don’t know why I picked that song but Kate, back when she was Katie, liked it and it stuck.

Well this morning, out of the blue, Joshua says he can sing the song. So I ask him to sing it and he does… and it’s hysterical. (someday I’ll learn to video record these things)

The lyrics go something like this:

• There is a way that leads to life
• The few that find it never die
• Past mountain peaks
• Glazed white with snow

The next line is: The way grows brighter as it goes.

Josh interprets it as: The way has spiders as you go. Poor kid! When I sing it, I’m tucking him in for bed. I’m surprised that he doesn’t have nightmares. Still it made me laugh and perhaps it will give you a smile when you read this.

God’s best to you and have a great day!
