I need to explain this better

This week my mind has been on my upcoming talk A LOT! Thank you for your prayers - I appreciate them greatly!

Tonight I asked Paige and Raegan the question, "What is Adoption?"

This is what Paige said:

"Adoption is when you get a baby. It is not from your tummy." (all good so far, but then she went on) "Adoption is like taking a baby without asking and stealing it."

Paige??!! Where ever did you get that notion??

Fortunately, Raegan came through. She said, "It's like someone giving you a baby."

Apparently, I need to explain adoption better to Paige!

I am laughing so hard right now. Imagine if she went to school and told people that her mommy stole a baby!

LOL! That's great!

I think you should use that story as your opening to your presentation. Seriously! Everyone loves a good story to get the mood right!!

Sarah - you read my mind! :)

Actually when I asked them this question - I was hoping maybe I'd get something funny for my intro! I never guessed Paige would say what she said though!!!

I think Paige's definition will come to my mind often.... along with a smile and a chuckle. Will be praying for your talk. :0)
