Blue Blankie, photo taken by Corrie

In the car:

Evan: Corrie, who do you love the best?
Corrie: God and blue blankie.
Evan:  What?  You can't love blue blankie the best.  He can't even talk.
Corrie:  Yes, he can.
Evan:  No, he can't, Corrie!
Corrie:  For pretend, Evan.
Evan:  It hurts my feelings that you like blue blankie more than our family.

Talking about Kiki Camarena (DEA officer whose 1985 kidnapping and murder inspired Red Ribbon Week in the U.S.)

Evan: Why did they kill him?
Mom: Because he was doing something important.  He was trying to stop people from selling drugs and using drugs to hurt themselves and other people.
Evan:  Was he doing what Jesus wanted him to do?
Mom:  I think so.
Corrie:  Did he flush and wash his hands?
Mom:  Yes.

In case you can't tell, we've been talking a lot about good hygiene and potty routines at our house lately.
