Things Alyssa said this week

"The moon likes me. And the shade likes me, but thunder does not like me. It flashes me dead."

Me: Candy is not food. It is not a snack. It is a treat.

Alyssa: But Mom, Jesus knows that candy is food.

Alyssa's family prayer

To the best of my memory this was Alyssa's family prayer Friday night.

Thank you that we could have a nice day and that Jesus and Heavenly Father can see us but we can't see them because they are so bright. And thank you that we could have a yummy dinner and snakes, and that we could drink the blood because we are vampires and the dogs are vampires too. -Hey, quit laughing! -.

(Snakes were breadsticks. Sarah and Emily were being goofy and pretending all sorts of silly games right before dinner regarding the dinner.)

Last night she came tromping down around 9:45 pm.

"Alyssa why are you up?"

"Mommy, I want to be a mermaid and then turn into a little girl after."

"You can't be a mermaid."

"Why?"

"Because Heavenly Father made you a little girl and because mermaids are pretend."
"Oh."
