Clay sculpture and literal conversations


I would like to apologize. I was preparing to write a fresh post. When I logged in and looked at the previous posts, I noticed that the following post was never published. Sorry.

The above is a really tiny clay sculpture that Jacob did of a couple of ants, a father and son at a cook out. They are cooking a pie on the grill. This was totally Jacob. He got the idea from a picture he saw on the box of clay. After he finished this little clay sculpture, he took it to our new neighbors as a house warming gift. As the second photo shows, it was very tiny.

Kids are very literal. I made a braised chicken dish a week ago. I told the boys that the meat will just fall off of the bones. At one point, Geoffrey grabbed a drum stick and held it up, giving it a shake. He turns to Kelly and says to her, "It won't fall off?!?"
