Jonah and Fancy Nancy

Happy Friday!

Lots of questions about the house! Here are a few answers.....

Where are we moving? This was a great debate in our house for quite a while. We want to be closer to our families but we don't like the schools that area provides. We don't really want to move near our jobs as it would be ever farther from our families. Our goal is to move closer to Thousand Oaks/Redland Rd and 1604 area. It is important for us to have easy access to 1604 as B and I still work off 35. Schools really don't matter since I am lucky enough to be able to bring my children to school with me and then they can continue through my school system until high school (a very nice perk)!

Why now? Well, we are slowly outgrowing our house and a little more room is needed. We do not need a huge house but a little bigger would be nice. Also this whole rebate thing is a nice perk. We have lived in our house for more than 5 years so we qualify for the $6,500 tax rebate.

If it doesn't sell, no big deal. This is not a must situation for us.

Anyways, as for the title of this post. Here's the situation:

Driving home last night, Jillian starts talking about Jonah and the whale (one of her favorite stories). She starts asking why Jonah didn't listen to God. The story uses big words like "compassion" and "mercy." I explained that Jonah just couldn't believe that God would give the people of Ninavah compassion and mercy but that we should all give people a second chance.

Silence.

Then she says, "Mommy, can you believe Jonah is just like Fancy Nancy (her other favorite story)?"

Me = Silence.

Then I asked the question. "Jillian, how is Jonah just like Fancy Nancy?"

In her expert voice, Jillian calmly explained to her idiot mother:

"Mommy, Jonah should have had mercy and Fancy Nancy says merci to her friends."

Got that everybody?? Now you know that Jonah and Fancy Nancy are just alike!

Happy weekend!!
