Henri: "Cosette, do you know what the chief end of man is? Cosette?"

Cosette: "Wha?"

Henri: "Cosette, the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever."

I give Henri a high five.

Henri: "What? What did I do?"

Me: "Henri, you need to take off your pajamas and put some clothes on. It's almost lunchtime."

Henri: "But Mama! I want to be like you!"

Busted. I was still in my pajamas. Come to think of it, I'm still not dressed.

Me: "Henri, even though it's so cold (feels like 30 below out there folks) outside and there's lots of snow, can you believe that it's still autumn?"

Henri: "Why do we have snow in autumn? When will it be winter?"

Me: "We have snow in autumn because we live in a cold area. It will be winter in 6 days?"

Henri: "You mean 6 more sleeps? 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, then winter!!! Hooray!"
