My Four-Year-Old

I just had to share.

Yesterday my family and I stopped at the Chinese restaurant in town after church. As we sat eating our Lo Mein, our four-year-old noticed that the man at the next table wore an eye patch. Of course she was curious, so she turned to me and my husband and said, "Why does that man wear a patch on his eye?"

To which John quickly said, "Shh, we don't need to talk about that right now. You just mind your own business."

She obeyed. Then a few minutes later she said, "Mom, I have a joke for you."

"Okay...," I said. Willow often tells lame jokes.

"Why did the cow wear an eye patch?"

Ah, the mind of a four-year-old!
