A healthy, bad habit

Upon baby dedication at the church, each child receives a small white bible. Ty and I filed both of the girls bibles away to give to them when they are older. Yesterday, I dropped Ty off at the door of walmart and sat waiting for him along the side of the building. Outside of Amelia's window were the coke machines and a table that I'm assuming is for the workers smoke breaks. All of a sudden, Amelia, with hands on her face, starts crying hysterically and mumbling "baby talk". I get her to calm down long enough to catch "B" and "bible". I'm very confused until she points out her window towards that table. Sitting on top, all by itself, was a pack of Marlboro cigarettes. Amelia thought that small white box was Abigail's small white bible from dedication. I was able to mask my giggles to explain that Abi's bible was at home. Upon hearing that, she finally removed her hands from her face and simply asked "Mama, sing?"

My daughter is going to grow up thinking that everyone standing outside with a small white box is reading their bible!

Thank you Lord for the innocence of a child!!!
