4 hands are better than 2

A.: Last night you and Daddy put me to bed.
Mommy: That’s right.
A.: Four hands tucking me in.

Little things mean a lot. Even Especially at 3.

Nineveh and Some Guy

Mommy: What did you learn at Sunday School?
A.: A whale swallowed a person.
Mommy: Oh, and what was his name?
A.: I don’t know.
Mommy: You don’t?
A.: No.
[Pause]
But God told him to go to Nineveh.

Evidently in a 3-year old’s mind, Nineveh is much higher on the retention scale, or just more fascinating, than Jonah. Toy marketers, pay attention.
