Max!

So the girls aren’t the only trouble makers lately...yesterday we went to Kids Club at the Mall. They have a little clown show twice a month. On the way there, Max saw a bus. A few weeks ago, Neil had been telling Max that all the cool kids sit at the back of the bus. So when Max saw the bus he started talking about how it’s more fun to sit at the back of the bus. I told Max, “you can’t always listen to Daddy, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.” Well, the clown show’s theme was “questions” and they were asking the kids questions and telling them trivia and stuff. Then the clown asked if anyone knew anything interesting that they wanted to tell. A few kids said something and Max was raising his hand as high as he

could, which I was surprised about because he doesn’t usually talk in front of

groups. The clown came to him with the microphone and Max says...”um, um...my dad doesn’t know what he’s talking about”. It was so funny and also embarrassing.

Another Max story...today we were driving

and somehow started talking about death and heaven. I hadn’t said anything about forgiving, but Max said, “when I get to heaven I will forgive the bad guys.” I asked him what bad guys he was talking about and he said “the bad guys that put Joseph in the pit”. Upon further discussion, he was able to tell me pretty much the whole story of Joseph, his coat of many colors, his brothers throwing him in the

pit and Joseph forgiving them. Apparently Max will forgive them when he's in

heaven. He's got good primary teachers!
