Out of the Mouths of Elders

An all-time Sunday video favorite at our house was "Mouths of Babes" that asked kids a bunch of doctrinal questions and had their hilarious answers. Ever since I have worked at Alpine Valley, I have had numerous beautiful quotes from my old folk friends. Eileen was especially funny this week. here are a few of our conversations. Of course, being with her in person makes it about five hundred times funnier...

Numero uno:

Me: Eileen, I love you.

Eileen: I love you too. You're a good boy.

Me: Um, I'm not a boy, I'm a girl.

Eileen: Oh I know, you're a girl...

Numero dos:

Me: Hey, Eileen!

Eileen: Quit fooling around and I'll break both your legs.

Numero tres:

Me: Eileen?

Eileen: Yes, come in for a minute.

Me: Do you want a blueberry muffin?

Eileen: A what?

Me: A blueberry muffin.

Eileen: What will that do?

Me: Um, it will be good for your body?

Eileen: No, I already have a body, and it's all broken into pieces, and I don't need no more.

Numero quatro:

Me: Eileen, here's your hot chocolate.

Eileen: Where are the feet on it?

Me: Are there normally feet on it?

Eileen: No, I just thought I'd ask. I normally don't get anything.

Oh brother...
