Conversation with G-d

Thing 4 and I were driving to the shops just before yomtov. (The very same shops in whose parking lot my kids are wont to comment "kol yisrael chazerim" upon seeing how people park their cars so 'nicely.') I was concerned about getting a parking spot (not even a decent one, just a legal one) and told Thing 4 that he should ask Hashem to help us get a good spot. A few minutes later he pipes up from the back, "He said 'OK."
I must admit it took me a good few seconds!
BTW, we got a GREAT spot!

REALLY GOTTA BE CAREFUL WITH WHAT WE SAY!

Thing 1 was supposed to be home already for dinner, and then learning.
He was late.
I was getting frustrated
..then infuriated.
So, I turned to my husband and asked what we should do about/to
Thing 1.
Very calmy, DH replied, "Kill him."
(He did NOT mean it.)
Very non-nonplussed (I've always wanted to use that word, sorry)
I retorted, "And then what?"
To which thing 3 piped up, "Bury him."

Favorite song

Thing 4, who is 3 years old has some very strong feelings about things that he likes, and those which he doesn't!
His favorite song, which he sings often, loudly and sometimes unnecessarily is 'bentching.'
This morning, after a special Rosh Chodesh breakfast of French Toast, Thing 1 began bentching aloud. Thing 4 grinned and out of his smiling mouth came, "That's my FAVORITE song!"

On a Cholo Shel Mo'ed picnic after calling Thing 4 back to the table (it was a picnic table) 'for bentching--well we WERE about to, and we also didn't want him wandering too far--we began singing Shir HaMa'alot. Thing 4, anticipating "Baruch Atah etc" looked up, and in utter dismay shouted, "I HATE THAT SONG!"
