We borrowed the book, The Misbehaving Bee by Max Lucado, from the church were Brooklynn attends AWANA. We read the book at bedtime. Towards the end of the story, the main character Buzby prays to God. It's really a cute story. After finishing it the other night, Brooklynn says to me:
Brooklynn: "Daddy....guess what?"
Dad: "What?"
Brooklynn: "Sometimes I talk to God too like Buzby"
Dad: "You do? That is AWESOME Brooklynn!!"
Brooklynn: "Yeah, I talked to him today when I was swimming"
Dad: "Swimming?"
Brooklynn: "Yeah, when I was swimming in the bathtub this morning"
Dad: "Oh, okay....what did you say to God?"
Brooklynn: "I said, Dear God, can my daddy stay in my room after story time and tickle-itch my back and stay with me until I fall asleep?"
Dad: " Really, did God answer you back?"
Brooklynn: "Yes, he said that your daddy loves you and he will stay in your room with you at bedtime."
Dad: "WOW, that is so neat that God said that."
Brooklynn: [while unzipping her pajama's] "Yep, so will you scratch my back now?"
....what's a dad to do....love my little girl!!
Todd I hope you still get to "tickle-itch" her back when shes 15!!
