Hiking

Do your kids ever complain about stuff that doesn't even make sense?


We drove up to the mountains yesterday to go hiking, which means we spent an hour and a half in the car listening to brain-withering conversation from the backseat.  I'd recall what the topics were, but I think that part of my brain died.


The part I do remember is Caleb wailing to leave the mountain because we might fall off and also because there's grass on it.


Caleb (wailing):  "Don't want grass on the mountain!!"


Lizzy the theologian attempted to put an end to the complaining.


Lizzy:  "It's God's plan, Caleb."
