I even told Joey last night as bad as I wanted to, I wasn't gonna....
BUT I AM....
Because it was funny and I want to remember it...
AND I WON'T....
For this to be funny, you have to realize, we play punch bug (WE USED TO REALLY PLAY PUNCH BUG back when I was tougher) so...well now we play poke bug....which sometimes we forget and still play "little-light" punches-bug. First one to see a volkswagen beetle gets one punch on the arm of the unsuspecting victim who doesn't see it, see a convertible get two punches...got all that?
So the other night, Tuesday after the class when we were having our really bonding deep conversations about foster-parenting and God...and 3 children...
I was in the middle of a really big thought, about how I feel God is using this whole thing to REALLY draw me closer to Him...in a way I have never felt before....and all of the sudden....
PUNCH! PUNCH! PUNCH! PUNCH! (punchpunchpunch) on my left arm, cause he's ever so carefully driving over there *and obviously captivated by my conversation, I might add. ; ) Then I realize ----we are riding past the old volkswagen grave yard where there are tons of retired VW beetles that's near where we worked when we met each other, and we always got each other playing punch bug there.
I very earnestly and cutely said, "Ya know, I bet God wouldn't appreciate you beating up His daughter, while she was trying to have a real honest, deep God moment with you". :p
to which he laughed that cute little boy laugh he has and said he was sorry. "Really baby I am sorry, I don't know why, it....just...I....I really was listening....and care....it was just...
I start in over top of him.. "Dear Lord God, OUR FATHER, I just hope you noticed how that all just went down right here. I was sitting here innocently sharing my heart with your son, and he started wailing on my arm like a brother and sister in the back seat of a car that are 5 years old"
We both laughed.
Then I asked him if we really needed more kids??? After we finished laughing, he convinced me he really did want to hear what I was saying. (only after he made sure he got me for those punch bugs b/c we rarely ride by them anymore!)
Love him!!!!
