My Danny Boy ...

My Danny Boy is a bright child. He is an "A" honor roll student. But, yesterday on the way home from school he cracked me up, and for a moment I thought to myself, "How much money are we spending each month for his education?

We were almost home from school yesterday when we passed this HUGE American flag that proudly waves its stars and stripes in the Florida breeze. We see this flag every day but yesterday it sparked some patriotic interest in my Dan Dan.

He began telling us that there is an American flag in a museum in Washington DC and it has all kinds of bullet holes in it from the Revolutionary War. Then he started telling me that there is an American flag in the museum that is HUGE. This particular flag has stars that are something like 10 feet wide, and the flag itself is one inch thick??? Sadly, at this point, I started to fade out from the flag chatter in the truck. I was focusing on what I need to get done at home before we needed to head back out to Awana.

Anyway, I soon came back to my senses when I heard Danny say, "and mom, do you know who sewed the flag?"

"Who Dan Dan?" I said.

"Some girl named RUTH." He said.

"Ruth???" I said. "How about Betsy."

Then he said, "Oh yeah, Betsy RUTH."

I laughed and then corrected him. It was cute.

This is why I love boys. They don't grow up as quick as girls. I believe that is purposely part of Gods plan for boys.

They say and do the cutest, sweetest little boy things.

Oh, and this Spring or Summer, when we are on vaca in old Virginny, we are going to DC to see that wonderful American flag.
