Isabel and I had this conversation tonight over a bowl of vegetable alphabet soup; I was going over the letters in her bowl with her while I was blowing on it to make it cooler for her to eat. The conversation went a little like this…
Me: Do you want to go to school?
Isabel: (nods head)
Me: When you go to school, you will learn new things.
Isabel: Jesus happy?
Me: Yes, Jesus will be happy for you to go to school. Jesus wants you to learn and grow. Do you want to learn and grow?
Isabel: (nods head and says) Be doctor.
Me: You want to be a doctor when you grow up?!?!?
Isabel: (nods head)…Give out Band-aids.
Me: You want to give out Band-aids! (chuckling) Well, you can be a doctor when you grow up and give out all the Band-aids you want. You’ll have to go to a lot of school though.
Isabel: Jesus happy.
Me: Yes, Jesus will be very happy.
