  • Another Carsonism

    Me: Why don’t you try that again, and talk to me like a nice person.Carson: I’m NOT A PERSON! I’m a BIG BOY!**This morning I realized I too easily get sucked into trying to rationalize with a 3 year old. This is the conversation on the way to Bible study this morning: C: AAAA! Waaaa! […]
