Horrible DVD Player

We're getting ready to do a little road trip over Spring Break. I'm actually speaking down in Tennessee, but we're turning it into a family affair. So we broke down and got a portable DVD player because we'll spend about twenty hours in the mini-van.

Anywho.

Lora bought a portable DVD player yesterday at Costco. A little later in the day, Josiah asked her, "Where is the horrible DVD player?" Lora said, "Do you mean portable DVD player?"

I guess a four year-old doesn't know what portable means. And I suppose "horrible" and "portable" sound a little alike. But I'm wondering what was going through his mind all day? Why would mom buy a horrible DVD player? Will it work? What's so bad about it that made us buy it?

Kids are a never-ending source of amusement! They are walking amusement parks.

When I was young, I was out to dinner with my family. My sister ordered "Au Gratin" Potatoes. I leaned over to my mom and whispered, "Why does Tracy want old rotten potatoes?"

My friend is a teacher and she said she overheard two kids talking. One said "My mom says I'm adorable", and the other responded "why does your mom think you're a door bell?"

One of my joys of flying is when I can sit in a chair and watch movies for hours on end and not feel guilty about it!

I guess Josiah has a "child like faith" in his mom's choices, huh?
