what's a mom to say

This morning we went to Bible study at the church. Afterward we drove past a house that had a trampoline and swing set/fort in the backyard. Anna Grace commented on it. We came back home, ate lunch, then left again to run a quick errand before nap time. While in the car I had a priceless conversation with Anna Grace who had obviously been thinking about the Pattillo's cool backyard.

Anna Grace: Mama, when can I get a jumpaline?
Me: What? (Hoping she was not really asking for a trampoline.)
Anna Grace: A jumpaline, Mama. Its a circle and you jump on it. Do you know what I am talking about? A jumpaline.
Me: Oh, you mean a trampoline.
Anna Grace: Oh, a trampoline. When can I get one?
Me: I don't know.
Anna Grace: Well, Jesus said it would be good for me to have one.
Me: What?!? Did you say Jesus said?
Anna Grace: Yes, Mama, Jesus said it would be good for me to get one.
Wow! What can I really say to that?
Me: That is interesting. How about some music? (Enter Bear music.)


Hey, Pattillo's, could you please get a fence up or invite us over to play...something?!? Your killing me.
