The Chandalier

It looks like I am going to have to get started on my blog posts a little earlier.  Last nights post ended up going on tonight - well Sunday instead of Saturday and this one will definitely be on Monday as I am starting even later.  Oh well, I am probably the only one who even notices this timing issue and would even be worried about it.

It is very late and I am going to share just a quick story.

I was helping Natty with a project today.  I know, it was Sunday and we don't do homework on Sunday.  Well, it is Natty and she likes to put everything off to the very last minute and so I should not have been surprised when after church she tells me she has this project and needs a can.  Anyway, it is some sort of book in a can thing and she had to write a poem about the story, decorate a can and include things in the can - the poem for instance - that relate to the story.  She was telling me about the story and went on to discuss a chandelier.  I don't recall exactly why but she told Jack that he didn't even know what a chandelier was.  He replied that he did and then explained it perfectly.  Natty started to then correct him about many chandelier's having... Jack interrupted, a bit bored with it and said " I already know, crystals".  I started to laugh as did Natty who was a bit stunned.  Why does a 7 year old know this?  I don't know.  I thought it was funny and worth recording for all to see.
