9stines- Merthiolate For The Christian Soul

We had a goofy and funny experience happen with our son, Noah recently and instead of giving you the link, I thought I’d share it with you in email. Members were asked to post something they thought was funny or excellent in some way and to share who the designer was, as well as the design. (I think they were looking for logo’s and signs and such in our city, but my whole world revolves around my kids). I hope this makes you laugh—it sure gave me the jollies (and still does).

God is the Designer and here’s the design: My son Noah, who is 8 years old, was in our van in a Marsh parking lot along with his five sisters and one brother, plus myself, when he saw an elderly white-haired lady walk out of the store and get into her car. She had a couple bags of groceries in her arms and she got along just fine to her car. Upon seeing her, Noah shouted loudly, “Wait! where’s that old ladies crotch?” Every one of my children along with myself, gasped in horror of his question. Then his big brother, who’s 11 and knows him very well, said “Noah, you mean a crutch! And not every old lady needs one!” He was referring to a cane I think, but this kept me giggling as I kept playing the shock over and over in my head. This was not something you hear your kids say very often! It was also an opportunity to redirect his minds image of the elderly. (they are not just wrinkled people with white hair who carry sticks——–they are amazing human beings who have the experience that everyone else could and SHOULD learn from!). And besides that, God willing, you’ll be elderly one day!
