Both of our kids started Catholic school this year. As a result, our household conversations have changed just a bit.
For instance, our oldest, Jack (age 7), said after one week in school "All we do is pray, pray, pray! We pray when school starts. We pray in the morning. We pray at lunch. We go out to recess, and then (pauses for effect) WE PRAY SOME MORE!". Me "It's Catholic school honey. There's bound to be prayers".
Our youngest, Mackenzie (who turned 5 today), had a different take on Catholic school. "Mom, I know I'm not supposed to say Jesus (as in "JE-SUS, Mom!") at our house, but at school, I get to say it alllllllll I want". Always looking for the angle, that one.
Last night, I overhead the following religious debate between our two kids.
Jack "Mom and Dad know everything!"
Mackenzie (authoritarian tone) "Only Mary and Jesus know everything"
Jack counters with "What about Joseph?"
Mackenzie, with a suspicious tone of voice "Joseph?...I don't know about him (he's suspect)".

The Beginning
For some time now, I've been posting 'Conversation's with Mackenzie' on Facebook (FB). It started when she turned 4. I know some people refer to ages 2 and 3 as the "Terrible 2's" or the "Terrible 3's". We thought ages 2 and 3 were rough, and then we met 4! Around our house, we refer to age 4 as the "F-ing 4's".
Laughter has always been my go to strategy for rough times, and rather than being continually irritated by the little one's desire to challenge everything, I decided to focus on the really funny things she says and does. Hence, Convo's w/ Mackenzie (age 4) was born. Occasionally, I get to post 'Convo's w/Jack' but I have to do those on the down low. So shhhhhhh.
It's been a pretty funny year of posts with the little one. After reading several posts, everyone tells me "You really need to write a book". I don't have time to write said book though. I'm writing a blog instead. Check back often for more Convo's with the little one.
In the meantime, here's today's funny - which should technically go under my other string of posts "Nice Mouth Mackenzie".
Mackenzie, after dinner tonight "I have a tummy ache, but a nice fart with take care of that!" Yep, that's my dainty little girl.
