11 O'Clock Conversation

Kim and I put Siri and Ellie to bed at the Tao's this evening and ran off to play some rec league volleyball. As soon as I pulled a dazed and tired Ellie out of her car seat upon arriving back at home she bent her head back and looked straight up at the night sky.

Ellie: Whoa. Lotta stars [actually skars].

Me: Wow, you're right! Look at all of those stars! How many do you see?

Ellie: [Silence]

Me: Can you count them, Ellie? How many can you count?

Ellie: One two three four five six seven eight nine ten.

Me: Wow, ten stars! Are there more than ten?

Ellie: Yeah.

Me: Ellie, who made those stars? Do you know who put them there?

Ellie: Grandma Merrilee.

i am not sure if i should be happy or worried about this image ellie has of me...i guess will just be humored and honored that she thinks so highly of her grandma! but i also hope that her wise and loving parents will correct her theological misperceptions of the origin of the universe!

Well, Ellie may be on to something there. I too am pretty impressed with Grandma Merrilee's awesomeness. Are we walking on holy ground? (Gr'pa Steve)

Ha ha! You know, I think ellie may have it right. I've always thought that grandmas really are possibly some of the most angelic people in the world. :)
