4-year-olds on spirituality and/or magic

highs:

• beautiful days
  
• my intern telling me she wrote a paper about how awesome and calm I am (Honestly, I breathe a sigh of relief anytime someone describes me as calm.)
  
• coming home to see deer munching branches in my backyard

lows: My kids were particularly oppositional today. That is my least favorite of their moods. I prefer 'affectionate,' 'helpful,' and 'silly.' I'll take what I get though.

huhs: this conversation:

Little Girl: Do you want to know what magic words you have to say? I will tell you. You have to say "Jesus God please may."
me: Really? What do those magic words do?
Little Girl: They make you turn into what you want. Then you have to close your eyes and say "unicorn."
