Shmoopy had taken the kids out to eat last Saturday while I was at a meeting. On the way to the car, Bubba said, “Daddy?” Shmoopy said, “Yes, buddy?” Bubba said, “When Momma goes to Heaven, I’m gonna grab her foot.”
Ahhh! When Shmoopy told me that, my heart melted. What a sweet thing to say! I asked him if he asked what he meant. You know, did he want to keep me from going to Heaven, or did he just want to catch a ride with me. But Shmoopy being the man that he is just left it at that and had not inquired further.
So I took it upon myself yesterday to ask Bubba why he was going to grab my foot when I go to Heaven. He said, “Well, you’re gonna blow up.”
Huh?
I said, “I’m gonna blow up?”
He said, “You’re gonna blow up to Heaven.”
I said, “Oh, like float up in the sky?”
He said, “Yea. Because God loves you!”
Man, isn’t that THE SWEETEST THING YOU’VE EVER HEARD IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE!!!! I thought so. What a kid. It’s times like that that make up for the moments when he’s screaming how mad he is at me.
