Riches



This morning the girl's asked me if we were poor or rich. So here is how the conversation followed:
Me: Well, we are rich in things that really matter.
Avery: Like what?
Me: We are rich in family because we have such a great family. And we are rich in love because we love each other so much. And we're rich in Christmas lights because our neighbors gave us all of their old ones. And food, we have plenty of food to eat.
Maren: And we are rich in haircuts!
Me: Yes we are.
At least Maren is rich in haircuts. And don't worry, it will only take 4 YEARS to grow back.

Courtney said...

Yay for Christmas lights!! And I'm pretty sure there is not one kid in the universe who hasn't given themselves a self-haircut. All you can do is laugh, right?

Rachel said...

Don't worry, when you're looking back on your life in eighty years, four years of hair growth will be like the blink of an eye. It's all about perspective, right?
