Abby Kate has been sick all day, so she’s been hanging out with me today. Prior to our doctor’s appointment this morning, she had me in stitches with some of the things she had to say.

• “Dad, I just wish I was sixteen.” When I asked her why, she said, “Because it just sounds so much older than five.” What do you say to that?
• On the way to the doctor, she goes, “Dad, how is it that God can see through our house.” I tried to explain that the Bible says that a man’s ways are always before the eyes of the LORD (Proverbs 5). But that didn’t seem to work.
• On the way home, she goes, “Dad, do you know why I love pigs?” I said, “Because you like bacon?” to which she replied, “No, silly. Because they’re pink!”
