It was just before nap/quiet time and Emily was going potty and "poo". (I'm assuming mostly parents are reading this so you know how frank these discussions are with our young ones).
Emily said, "Mom why is my poop so tough coming out today?"
I answered, "I don't know honey" (the customary response when Mommy is too tired to properly answer)
Emily, "But I've been eating lots and lots of vegetables so it shouldn't be."
Me, "I know honey, sometimes it can still be tough."
Emily, "Jesus, why is my poop being so tough to come out when I've been eating my vegetables?"
Emily waits for a few seconds and then looks up at me and in a hushed whisper says, "What did He say Mom?"

Psalm 91:1-2
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, 'He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.'"

That's awesome! What did God tell you? (I imagine I'll need that answer from God at some point too!)
That is WAY TOO CUTE!!! :) Thanks for the heart warming story and good laugh!
That's so funny!!! Give her some prunes for breakfast, it works with one of our children! -Renee
@Steve - to be honest, I was left absolutely speechless. I'm blaming it on being tired. But she wasn't too put off, she just continued on with her conversation and even took on a "Jesus" part. I'm pretty confident He'd be ok with it.
@Renee - we keep a bag of dried apricots on hand for such occasions. :) But it is also a great way to keep kiddies eating their veggies!
