Fiona, Fiona, Fiona. She is so funny. Her brothers are learning how to take things that annoy them about people and try to find another way to describe that characteristic. Fiona is a bossy know-it-all, but I gently remind the boys that she is just very confident and will be a great mother in her own home someday.

Last night at Awanas, Fiona's teacher was reviewing the preschool version of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Because Fiona heard four versions straight out of the Bible a few days ago, Miss Know-it-all kept popping her hand in the air to add details to her teacher's story. Pop is the only way to describe the way Fiona raises her hand. She is like Hermione Granger, only younger. "They didn't just
hang Jesus on the cross, they
nailed his hands and feet to the cross! When he was
still alive!" And, "He didn't just die, they
stabbed him with a
spear in his
side,
right here [points to her own side],
just to make sure!" And the best was, "Everyone is a sinner! All of YOU [points to classmates] are SINNERS!" Oh, you should have seen the big eyes around the table.
Meanwhile, the little boy sitting next to her was leaning in closer and closer, trying to sneak a kiss! This little boy is the youngest son of one of my bestest friends and he is such a little sweetie. I watched him getting closer and closer with his smoochy lips, just waiting for a chance to land a kiss (if she ever stopped raising her hand to add details to the story). When Fiona finally stopped talking and looked over at her buddy and saw he was going to kiss her, she snarled and snapped her teeth at him! I just about died laughing and had to leave the room and tattle to my friend.
I am so glad I have a place to share Fiona's stories!
