Today's quotes are brought to you by Lily, age 6, and Esther, age 2:
Lily, distressed to see mom cutting broccoli for a dinner dish:
"Mom, don't you know that adding broccoli to that unimproves the flavor?"
And my favorite, from this morning's family devotional--
Dad (reading about the baptism of Jesus): "The Holy Ghost descended in the form of a ___" (pauses for the children to respond)
Esther: "Octopus!"
Needless to say, it took us awhile to return to some semblance of reverence and continue the scripture reading...

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.” Marjorie Pay Hinckley

lol these are fantastic!
Hehehe I like Lily's approach :) And Esther's comment had me laughing for a while. I told Marat about it and I guess it put octopi on his mind because when he had his hand on my belly later that evening, feeling our baby's usual enthusiastic kicking, he said: "hmmm, maybe he's really an octopus? That would explain so many kicks..."
LOL! That's hilarious! I especially like Esther's comment. There's something about humor and the spirit. Do you remember the time when we were having apartment prayer, and someone tooted quite loudly? I think the spirit slammed the door on the way out that night. :)
Lily was very diplomatic in her approach. :)
Hahahahaha!!!! Just love it! Oh my gosh, the octopus thing. So wonderful.
When my daughter was about 5 we were sitting in church during the sacrament and I asked her if she was thinking about Jesus.
"Yes", she replied.
After a pause I thought to ask "What are you thinking about Jesus?"
She said, "I'm thinking about Jesus in the Garden of Yosemite."
Marat's comment about his sibling maybe being an octopus is brilliant. =D
These are great! Love them.
