Where the Blond Comes From

So, today we were on a walk and a neighbor who was trying to be neighborly and friendly, pulls his truck to the side of the road to stop and say hi to the kids and I.

He asks how we are doing and mentions how the kids have grown. Then he says, "But I still just have one question. Where does all the blond hair come from?" (Which honestly, I sometimes wonder if people expect me to confess infidelity or something. Like, "Oh ya, well we were going through a little rough patch a few years ago, and I had a one night stand. Well, 2 actually now that I think about it. I just have a thing for blonds when I am mad at my brunette husband")

But what really surprised me was Eden's (slightly enraged) response to the question.

"Jesus gave that to our family!!!!!!!!" And she stomped away muttering something else under her breath.

Somehow, I don't think my neighbor really noticed her answer, though I was having a hard time keeping myself from laughing as he was talking about how Tex is going to be a real Dennis the Menace.

After he drove off, I asked Eden to explain her answer to me. And she said she was mad because our bodies are special gifts from Jesus and he gave us our arms, our legs, our hair and our whole bodies.

I guess I just really never know what that child is going to say...but I love how she keeps me on my toes.

Aaaaah, well one thing is for sure. My 2 little blondies are definitely my precious gifts from a very loving Heavenly Father.
