Memories from the table

So tonight at the dinner table we were talking about how things they say on tv aren't always the truth and we have to be careful what we believe etc. So Aslan says , "What about Debbie Meyer's( or whatever the name, he knew it, I don't) green bags, do they really work like that?" And Selah piped in and say, "You should see the bananas after 9 days, not even a brown spot" Bill and I start busting up laughing , then I said , "I get this blog", Then Selah says, " I call this blog, I get to write about it, " (but I'm cheating since she is in bed) It was so very funny, Bill was laughing so hard that Aslan started caressing his head and saying , "
It's ok daddy" and Selah was like Daddy don't have a heart attack.... oh kids!
The funny thing is they have been watching less than an hour of tv a day, so it's not like they have seen that commercial a lot.
Not to mention it's not like it comes on the cartoon stations, only when we watch food network.
So of course it got me thinking.... I try to be so careful about what the kids watch , and I m glad I am because at this age they remember everything, every detail of random things! They are like sponges, not only tv, but our habits, our attitudes , our consistency or lack there of.
I think we should all ask ourselves, what are our sponges soaking up? How to treat their spouse someday, or how to react when you have a bad day, or patience, or pure family values.
I pray that my sponges (a.k.a. kids in case your not following) will soak up a godly home, that through it all preservers, puts God first, and lives every day to the fullest.
I have to say , we look forward to dinner when we are all home, because it is always around the dinner table.... these are some of the best times in our lives.

I love your "kids say the darnest things" blogs! I can actually visualize them saying them. They are so cute!
