I love that my child has learned to read except that now she can figure out when I spell four letter words. That part sucks, but it is so sweet to find her hunkered down in her little rocker reading “The Boxcar Children”. Makes a mama proud even though she is notorious for skimming the letters and guessing at words rather than sounding them out.
The Princess attends Christian school and they memorize a new Bible verse or two each week. My routine is to give her a printout of the verse on Monday morning, she reads it and then we repeat it several times a day throughout the week. This week’s verse is Psalm 34:12-13.
Here is how she “read” it this morning:
Whoever of you loves life and dresses* to see many good days, keep your thong* from evil and your lips from speaking lies.
*desires, tongue
I can’t stop laughing at “Keep your thong from evil”.
Get thee behind me,

At my daughter’s Christian school, they had to memorize a verse featuring “sexual immortality (immorality). Gotta dream, right?

If she keeps her thong from evil, it may save you a lot of worrying in her teenage year.

She calls thongs “up the butt panties”….as in “Mom, I can see your panties thru those pants. Go put on some “up the butts”. You’re totally right!

Be carefu of those thongs. Those little suckers are destined for evil.

That is classic! And so was notquiteold’s comment: “If she keeps her thong from evil, it may save you a lot of worrying in her teenage year”
My oldest son is in preschool now, so we haven’t hit the full-on reading stage, but I’m sure it’ll be funny when we do.

That’s why thongs hide in your butt cheeks; they are hiding from evi.

thongs are problematic, but tongues are worse
