Sleep Talking
During my senior year of college, my 12-year-old sister, Rachel, sang and acted in a Christmas production at our church. I missed seeing her performance, but a week later, I went home and talked with her about the musical. She lamented the fact that she forgot one of her lines. That night, I heard her mumble in her sleep something like, "We all like sheep have gone astray." I asked her about it the next morning. She looked at me with surprise in her face and said, "So I did remember my line!"

Just Between You and …
In hiding a birthday present for another member of the family, my sister Margie asked her little 4-year-old granddaughter, Lindsey, if she could keep a secret. Her eyes got big and she answered, "Oh yes, Grandma! I can! But sometimes the people I tell the secret to can't!"

Beware the Toothsayer
While eating strawberries, I told our 9-year-old son, John, his teeth looked pink. When I asked him if my teeth looked pink, he replied, "No, they're yellow."

I Want Vanilla!
One Sunday I was attending my brother's Catholic church. During one part of the mass, the altar server began ringing hand bells. Suddenly, the solemn moment was interrupted by a wide-eyed little boy's breathless announcement: "Daddy, the ice cream man is here!"
