Funnies from Meredith

I am trying so hard write down all the funny and silly things that Meredith says and does.  It is almost a daily thing, and some of them just have me completely puzzled.  I have no idea where this grown woman came from in this almost 4 year old body!  Here are a few of her most recent funnies:

I posted a few weeks back about how she enjoys saying "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep" as her bedtime prayer.  She also likes to say it at the dinner table when we are saying a blessing for our dinner.  We have told her several times that at dinner we need to thank God for our food, and ask him to bless it.  The other night, I was lying in bed with her.  She said, "Mommy, I need to say my prayers."  She folded her hands and closed her eyes and proceeded with this:

Now I lay me down to sleep.

I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

May angels watch me through the night,

and keep me in their blessed sight.

Bless the food...AMEN

She heard what we said, but now she thinks when she prays she needs to say "Bless the food"...even at bedtime.  We have our work cut out for us!

This afternoon while talking to my Mom she told me that she had taken Meredith to dinner and bought her a coloring book at Walmart.  When they got home she started coloring, and my Mom praised her on how well she was staying the lines.  My Mom said in a few minutes Meredith walked over to her with the coloring book and said, "Granmommy, I am concerned about this."  When my Mom asked her why, she just said again "I am concerned about this."  I guess she was concerned about coloring in the lines.

Creig led singing at church a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday night.  Meredith has several hymns that are her favorties.  One is Do Lord.  Creig decided he was going to lead it because he knew how much Meredith enjoys it.  Unfortunately, the notes to the song were not written the way we know the song...so, when Creig got up to lead the song he got confused.  Everyone else was confused as well.  Needless to say, it didn't go as well as expected.  Meredith leaned over and asked me, "What is wrong with my Daddy?  That is not my Do Lord."  I told her the music was confusing and to sing it the way she knew it.  She sang out that night, but when her Daddy came to sit down she said "Daddy we need to teach you Do Lord a little better!"

I love to hear Meredith sing Jesus Loves Me.  Instead of singing Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.....she sings Jesus loves me this I know, OR the Bible tells me so.

This one is a little older, but I want to make sure I never forget it!  About a year ago, Meredith came out of Bible class and her teacher asked her to tell me about what she learned in class.  She told me she had learned about Lot and his wife.  Her teacher asked, "Meredith, what did Lot's wife do?" Meredith quickly answered, "She turned around and looked back."  Her teacher then asked her, "What did Lot's wife turn into?"  Meredith very seriously said, "She turned into the driveway."
