Out of the Mouths of Babes

Last night, Elena asked her father if he knew what a Publican was.

Dan said yes, he did.

Elena asked him to explain what he knew.

Dan said, "A publican used to go around, gathering money from people to give to the kings or the government - the people who do things for other people.. That way, with that money, they can run the country and provide services for the people living there."

Elena said, "Wrong, Dad. A publican was a tax collector."


(photo info: I was feeding Josef, reading a book in the living room while the girls were watching tv. I looked over, and Elena was like this. What else could I do but snap a picture?)

did you ask her what purpose the shoe was serving?

Angenette said...

With Elena, you really don't ask.

Natalie said...

hahaha... I don't know how I missed the shoe before.

So funny when she shuts me down like this!

My given name is Angenette. I like to be called Neti. My family calls me Cui. You can call me anything you like (except late to dinner).
