A Child's Mind

I haven't spoken much about Jessie Jane lately.  She is growing so much and is so full of life.  Every time I see her she makes me laugh! 

I always take it for granted that children understand who the people are around them.  It surprises me everytime one of the kids say something like "You're are my mom's sister?"

Saturday I was with Jessie Jane.  Her dad had just gotten her a drink and I said that was was nice of him. 

She said, "Yes, I love my Dad!"

I replied, "I love my Dad too." 

She said, " You have a Dad?"

My reply, "Papa is my Dad and MaMaw is my mom."

She said, "Nuh Uh!" and had the most puzzled look on her face!

It might take a year or two for that to sink in!!!
