Lucy says no to prom, yes to ministry

1) I scraped the side of David's car (again) in my Inferno-like parking garage. Lucy took one look at it and exclaimed, "Oh Gawd! Not again!" (I've been hearing a lot about the Big Guy lately, as in, "Oh Gawwwd! Where's my nipple?" or "Oh Gawd! The Babies are trying to eat my lunch!"

2) Lucy is very popular with the boys at school. Her teacher has a couple of theories -- maybe they like her because she's so tiny, maybe because she never fights, or maybe because she won't whine when they get wacky. She just says, "NO!" Anyway, she was spending a lot of time with a little charmer named Jack, but not so much anymore. When asked, she said, "I'm done with him."

3) After a particularly trying afternoon with The Babies -- Margaret had turned off her Thomas video and knocked over her Jello, and then body-slammed her to the carpet -- and Lucy had tried to reason with them, "Babies! These are not your toys! These are not Baby Toys! This is not your lunch! Be gentle! You are being naughty!" she turned in disgust and concluded, "These babies...they just don't LISTEN TO ME."
