Lexi-ism: A #1 Please

March 9, 2010 by Amy

Wow, another Lexi-ism so soon!  I’m going to share some info and not because I’m trying to brag but so you can get the gist of this.  Through Compassion., we sponsor a boy in Hondorus, a girl in India and just yesterday the girls and I “picked out” a boy in Kenya thanks to the recent blogger trip there.

So I’m watching American Idol and Lexi comes out from her bedroom bumping her thumbs together, looking perplexed.

Lexi: Mommy, did we order a boy yesterday or did we adopt him?

Me (trying not to break down): We didn’t adopt.  That’s when someone comes to live with you.  We agreed to give this boy money so he can go to school and have food to eat.

Lexi: Well, can we order another girl so we have 2 boys and 2 girls?

First off, of course, the order bit was hilarious.  Secondly, she’s SO Scott’s child wanting things to be even.  She cracks me up!
