The Accident

So I have been waiting for something interesting to happen so we could print a new blog, well maybe I should have stuck with the boring stuff. Greg was in a car accident yesterday. Everyone is ok but greg's car is pretty much wrecked. Of course it happens on his way to court so in between dealing with cops and insurance companies he is trying to appear telephonically at all of his hearings (4 total) scheduled for that morning and trying to come up with alternate transportation. I think the Lord was just giving us a push to replace Greg's car. Now to the really funny part. Ethan came home from school and wanted to know where his dad was. I said, "he is at work." to which Ethan replied, "no his car is outside." So I explained that "Dad took a different car because dad had a car accident today." Ethan looks up with mild concern and says in the most straight faced deadpan way "oohhh. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (very long pause) . . . . . . . . did he survive?" so of course I start to laugh, hug Ethan and tell him that "yes of course Dad survived!" and he said, "that is good, I have heard on the news that sometimes people don't survive car accidents." And I am thinking "son is that really how you think I would tell you? Here honey I made cookies do you want one? Oh yeah dad died today. Do you want some milk with that?" lol lol

That kid is so serious all of the time. Yesterday Emma was pretending to be Cookie Monster and so Ethan told her, "Cookie monster it is not healthy for you to eat cookies all of the time. I am going to start giving you healthy snacks and telling you they are cookies so that you can start developing healthier eating habits and making better food choices. ok?" I so don't know where we got that one!
