Here is a little conversation Sydney and I had today as we were walking home from a friend's house.
Sydney: "Mom, my feet hurt. Can we try the talking trick?" (The talking trick is purposefully having a conversation that will take her mind off of something else. She agrees that it works every time).
Me: "Sure, what do you want to talk about?"
Syd: "Well, let's see....we could...weeeellllllllll.....hum. Let's see. I know. I'd like for you to tell me why God is perfect and people are not."
Me: chuckle a little..."Wellll..." and so begins a stumble through age-appropriate theology. Not sure how much she got, but I tried to converse in a way that is from my heart and understandable. She listened for a while and then, mid-sentence...
Syd: "Mom...can I run ahead of you to Nana's house?"
And so the conversation was over...but sweet for a moment.
