The past three days or so here in sunny FL, have been hot. Almost too hot... about 100+ degrees (the weather channel has said 106!). We've spent LOTS of time in the little kids' pools we have out in the yard - the kids having a blast with all the water toys and popsicles! And, they (especially Ella) are FL kids at heart... Ella the other day was in the playroom stripped down to her underwear and my astonished question to her was, "Ella, what are you doing??" She simply replied, "Mom, I'm just too hot" and she then just continued playing - like it was a normal, expected problem and she had solved it!
Yesterday, we were getting in the car from an outing to the police/fire dept. as part of a friend's belated birthday fun (maybe a separate blog on that fun later!)... but, we're getting in the hot, hot car, I immediately kick the AC into high gear while we're buckling everyone up. Lily thoughtfully looks at me and asks, "Mom... does God know not to make it so hot that we would all die?" (my six year old is already inquiring as to global warming!)... My response was the safe, "Lily, what do you mean?" "Well, Mom, does he know not to put us too close to the sun? Because, if we get too hot, all the people would die, and mom, I'm REALLY hot." So smart, yet so innocent of a question. My response, "Lily, that's why he put us in the perfect place in the solar system - not too close to the sun, but not too far away either." Her response, "Oh, okay."
And then our minds were on to other things... like getting snow cones!!
