Tate Chronicles. Must read if you need a laugh!

So what you are about to read is what came from Tate, my 3 almost 4 year old. Don't mistaken his word as truth or fact. I promise you he has a vivid imagination. Here are two hilarious stories you can enjoy...

Tate is now in Pre-School and loving it. Almost everyday he comes home with some homework in which we will sit down and do together. This last week Tate learned about careers and his teacher sent him home with a pretend job application to fill out. It came to one Q. That asked , "What is your mothers/fathers name?". I first asked him what my name was. Of course Tate said, "Mommy". I tried a different approach. "What does daddy call me?". Tate still said he didn't know. So I told him, "Tasha Snow".
"Oh", said Tate.
I then continued to ask him, "What is Daddy's name?". Tate again said he didn't know. So this time I asked, What does Mommy call Daddy?".
Tate then looked up and quickly said, "Stupid"!

First of all I honostly never call Matt stupid. In our home we teach Tate that stupid is in fact not a nice word. ButI have to admit it was pretty funny!


This next storey happened earlier this week.
So the other day Tate asked Matt about tithing. Matt took this as a great opportunity to teach him and so that night we all sat down while Matt taught his little lesson. He began by pulling out ten pennies. He explained that for every ten of something you have, you give ten back to Jesus. He went on to explain with ten dollars you give one dollar back to jesus, with $20 you give $2. He then asked Tate to count how many pennies he had on the table. Tate counted 10. Matt said, "I will give you those pennies if you give one to Jesus". Of course Tate said yes! Then some sort of miracle happened... or so we thought.

Tate looked up at Matt and said, "Daddy, I have a lot more money hidden in my bedroom".
"Really", said Matt. "Do should we go get it and give 1/10th of it to Jesus?".

Of course we thought Tate was really getting a hang of this tithing thing and about to share a percent with Jesus.

"No", said Tate. "I want to keep it there so it stays hidden from Jesus"!

So much for the lesson on tithe.

That is so cute. It is so funny what kids say and pick up on. when we think they aren't listening we turn around and they are staying the same things we say.

Well that was the best chuckle I've gotten today. Thanks for visiting my blog. Be sure to come back for the girls night out. It's tons of fun. I'll post around 6 with my version of the party. Hope to see you there. Not sure if you are following me on twitter either. I don't know who all is following. Everyday there is someone new. But if you are following I'll make sure to follow you back. Now I'm off to visit your other blog.
