We have recently struggled keeping Palmer in his bed at night. So, Laura and I thought we came up with the perfect idea at bedtime tonight. We told Palmer that if he didn't stay in his bed the snakes would get him. I added the detail the snakes were under the beds and would come out if he got out of his bed. I know, I know, really terrible. But, it gets better.
So we had our Bible reading time as a family and then started our prayer time. Palmer prayed, "Thank you God and don't let the snakes get me!" Caleb followed Palmer and prayed, "Don't let me have bad dreams, don't let me have bad think "abouts", and DON'T LET MOM AND DAD LIE ANYMORE!"
Well, Mommy and Daddy got put in their place! And to add salt to the wound, the snake story didn't even work. Palmer was up out of his bed as quick as we put him in it. Our kids have a way of keeping us honest!
