Mattie Mattie Matt Moo


This morning Matthew and I had some issues about cleaning. Truth be told, Matthew had issues with me about him cleaning up. About 10 minutes after the inital disagreement, Matthew said to me:
"Mom, the Holy Spirit is telling me I need to clean up now."
Me- shocked, then inspired and happy.
Matthew- "Yeah, I think I need to clean up right now. I don't want to make Heavenly Father angry."
Me- "I don't think Heavenly Father would be angry with you, maybe just a little sad you didn't listen. Let's clean up. That's a great idea."
Matthew valiantly picked up a DVD (at this point I'm giving myself high fives and pats on the back) and took three steps before he said this:
"Mom, I think the Holy Spirit is telling me he changed his mind and that I don't have to clean up anymore."
hmmmmm....

That is too cute. And that picture of Matthew is way cute. It's amazing how kids try to get out of cleaning up.
