We had just read the story of Joseph and his coat of many colors as part of our advent reading when—in an attempt to promote personal reflection in my tiny ones—I posed the question…
Kristie: How would you feel if Mommy and Daddy got a fancy, beautiful coat for only one of you and not for anyone else?
Ellie: (whispers in my ear) If it’s me, I want pink and purple.

laugh of the day!
Oh, it just doesn’t get any better than kids and Bible comprehension. A gift straight from the hand of God, to remind us that He does indeed have a grand sense of humor. I love your kiddos!
I can imagine Ellie saying this. She is a gift all of her own.
Haha. Made me smile….
and if it’s me mommy, i’ll take black and purple.
Oh my. That made me laugh out loud!
So great – way to get in there Ellie!!! So where did you go next? A round robin discussion of favorite colors? Complementary colors? Hey… sounds like a great art class project for pre-schoolers!
this is SO funny. did you keep your game face or laugh?
I have a terrible game face. I ALWAYS laugh.
Wow, Dad, Justin, and I had quite a laugh about this one!!!
She is too funny!
Hahahaha! Too funny! So are you going to buy new coats for all three?
By the way, how come I can’t comment on my own blog? I tried to write something after your comment.
