- how big's your family? -

this was the question asked to all the 4y olds in karleigh's preschool class today - a parent that was there told me the teacher went around the room, asking all the children to name everyone in their family - well, when they got to karleigh, here was her reply

`

"well, i've got daddy-his name's spike

a mommy-her name's lori

my brother dustin-he's big

a boo-her name's brittany, but we don't like her name

kiara-she's brown like me

ruby-she's deaf

karleigh, that's me & i'm 4

& ahnier-she was first in [removed name]'s tummy, but now she's my sister

`

& that's all our family!"

`

teacher: boy, you sure have a very big family, don't you karleigh?

`

karleigh: yeah, our family's big...it's 'bout as big as god's family!

`

[sidenote: she & i were talking the other day about all of us being god's children & she made mention of the family that i had children, just like god had children & the conversation went on from there - she must have been thinking that if everyone in the world that loved god was 'his children', then he must have a big family...just like hers *smile*]

`

just for the record, we do like brit's name...she [brit] doesn't like it & that's what karleigh was talking about!
