Gracie's Questions...

*Is it sometimes hard to be a mommy? (asked on a particularly hard day)

*What do you do in Heaven all day when you're dead? (as I had just fallen asleep for a nap)

Conversation between Jim and Gracie after Jim asked her to clean up the rocks. She managed to get more of the rocks in the yard than where they were supposed to go, so Jim said,

"Alright. Just go." (a little upset with her)

Gracie: "Daddy, I love you and forgive you."

Jim: "For what?"

Gracie: "For being angry."
