E1 has been particularly HOLY lately. I like to think it is God's way of reminding us what is important as coming from a 5 year old, it makes you stop and think about what is really important. Exhausted, I laid down for a rare nap on Saturday, E2 was upstairs napping and E1 was cuddled up in the chair watching his favorite movie. I dozed off only to be awaken by a 40 lb 5 year old crawling over my legs, half asleep, I asked him if there was something he needed. Instead of answering with one of the thousands of requests mom's all over the world hear every day from "can I have some juice, can I have some candy, can I can I can I" he asked me if I needed a story.... so I am thinking, "aw, that is sweet, now get off my legs so I can sleep!", so I politely decline and say "mama's just trying to get a little rest", then he asked me if I needed a prayer, we dog-gone-it, who in their right mind is going to refuse that! So I tell him yes, I need a prayer (not really sure what is going to happen next) and he proceeds to pray the Our Father and Hail Mary over me! I felt pretty darn blessed after that!
Fast forward to Sunday, and for some reason, I decided to stress myself out on Mothers Day and volunteered to do the first reading. I have to admit, it wasn't the most exciting of readings, something about circumcision, I went up to the podium, read the reading and returned to my seat. E1 quickly moved down the row to me, clearly with something burning in his mind he needed to say and pulled me over to whisper in my ear "Next time, you tell them about Jonah and Daniel and the Lions Den, ok, ok???" , "Ok, E, next time I will tell them something more exciting! "

That's really funny. What reading is about circumcision for Mother's Day! E has the right idea for sure.
