From the mouths of teens...

...come the funniest things!

Really I am just cracking up right now at an email I got from one of my girls!

We're doing a lot of fundraising right now, and one of the upcoming fund raisers is "Rent-A-Teen". People in the church bid on the teens for a day and they make money helping out the people in our church. I ask the kids for a list of things they're good at and things they absolutely CANNOT do.

So one of my girls sent me an email telling me several things she's good at, and then at the end she says, "i can't run though... if they want me to run a mile with them.. hahaha. i can't do that."

So funny.

I've had many other funny things said to me at one point or another. Sometimes they're random, sometimes they make perfect sense...

At one point we were talking about not settling for good enough in your life but striving for God's best for you. We were going to follow that up by getting rid of things that held the teens back (clothes, movies, music, etc.). We were talking about different ways we could do that. Most of the teens were saying things like "burn them" and "break them" and "crush them"... and one of my sweet girls raises her hand very excitedly... she bursts out, "we could hang the CD's from the trees to scare the birds away!!!"

Again, so funny.

One of my boys (who also happens to be Javier's son) is constantly saying random funny things. I was laying on the gym floor after a long basketball tournament... everyone was gone but we were locking up. He came over and laid on the floor (remember this is the GYM) and looked up at the ceiling and said, "let's look at stars".

I'm sure there have been more and will be more, so this may become a regular posting...
