Deep Thoughts with Case


This picture it to prove he’s a nut!! 

As I’m sure many of you moms out there will agree, rides in the car can lead to some very insightful moments in the lives of our children. 
Anna and Caroline most always wait for me to be stationed behind the steering wheel before tossing out those hard, thought provoking, deep questions.

“How is God three persons?”

“What are idols”

“Why would God allow people to create money if they are just going to worship it?”

 “Are common mistakes like breaking something sins?”

 “How do you know if something is an idol in your life?”

“What are some of your old idols?”

These are just a few topics of conversation the girls and I have had in JUST THIS WEEK to and from school! 

Case on the other hand is his own deep thinker. He sits quietly for a time, and then finally pipes up with his carefully calculated idea.

Today’s car ride was no different, except we were riding in blissful silence for ten minutes before Case spoke up.

Case: Well, I’ve decided what I want to be when I grow up!!
...
He pauses for me and the girls to bite the bait and ask, “what will you be, Case?”

Case (so excited about his news): I’m gonna be a Polar Bear!! 

Caroline: Case! You can’t be a Polar Bear!

Anna: You could be a doctor.

Case: I don’t like shots!

Anna: You could be a teacher.

Case (starting to get a little agitated): I can’t read!!

Caroline: But Case, If you’re human now, you can’t grow up and be a Polar Bear. 

Case: MY MOMMY SAYS I CAN BE ANYTHING I WANT TO BE, AND I’M GONNA BE A POLAR BEAR!

Me: Well, it does sound fun, but why do you want to be a Polar Bear? How could we come see you if you’re a Polar Bear?

Case (in a total ‘duh’ voice): Because I like coldness and playing in the snow. And- you’d just have to come to the zoo!

Anna: Case! You could be an astronaut! It’s cold in space!!

Case (In TOTAL EXASPERATION): ASTRONAUTS WEAR DIAPERS!!!!

Me: Okay buddy. Girls, he is going to be a Polar Bear! I think that sounds fun! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Of course we all know he won’t be a Polar Bear, but maybe some other “coldness-loving” occupation, like a snow boarder in the Olympics. 🀷🏼‍♀️
