A cute story to share: Ephraim and I ran to the grocery store quickly to get some things we needed for a baking project and for supper we are making for a friend tonight.
As I got Ephraim out of the car he asked sweetly "Can we get a 'crazy double cart', mama?". For those of you who do not know what the "crazy double cart" is, let me explain. These are the kind of carts that stores have available for parents of older toddlers/young elementary age children. They hold two bigger kids, but are very cumbersome. Very hard to push and maneuver at least for me. As a rule, I simply choose not to use them and make Carson walk and let Ephraim ride in a regular cart.
Back to my story, I respond to Ephraim's request for a "crazy double cart" with a simple "no, not today sweetie". He says "why mama, is today not "crazy double cart" day?" "No, Ephraim. Today is not "crazy double cart day". He seemed content with that answer and we moved on.
Later in the store, Ephraim asked me if he could hold one of the many toys piled up for sale at the front of the registers. I said "no, Ephraim, not today". He said "why is today not 'holding day'?". I reply, "Nope, today is not 'holding day'.". Finally, Ephraim said "Well, what day is it mama?". I respond with a smile "It is kissing day". I try to finagle a kiss, but Ephraim says "No, mama today is not kissing day".
Though Ephraim and I can't seem to agree on what day it really is, I do know that "today is the day that the LORD has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it".
