Knock Knock Knock…. Who Is It?
The other night me and geoff the great had to drive to NC, so we took BoBo and Emmiko with us. Boy are my kids weird. I really like being stuck in a car with my kids… especially if I only have one or two with me. The conversations are always interesting. On the way home, Emmiko (who just turned eleven), had a very serious question, she asked me, “Mom, if you and dad were dead, and if Coie was married and lived far away, and all of us kids were left in the house all by ourselves, what should we do if the Anti-Christ comes over and knocks on the door?”
Yep. I am pretty sure that when the Anti-Christ is revealed and he begins his massive world-wide rampage, one of his first stops is going to be at my house. Good thing she brought that up… I suppose I should start putting a plan in place. A) Under all circumstances, don't answer the door B) Don't stare if he has horns. I shouldn't think he'd like that very well C) If he's offering free 666 tatoos, turn them down D) Don't tell him that your parents are dead, just tell him that we're in the shower and that we'll call him when we get a chance E) Do not feel guilty lying to the Anti-Christ.

If he insists on sticking around, show him your bible copywork on John 20:31 (at the door of course, you never let strangers in when your parents are out) “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”

OK.
This would be a super time to adopt the pre-trib doctrine.
Serious kid conversations are the best, especially with astute 11 year olds. I love 11 year olds. They think through so many aspects of life that we adults never give a single thought.

How about this one?
You must not, under any circumstances, enter into any form or courtship or plans for marriage to the anti-Christ (not that he will like women, but you never know – he might have a friend. Don’t be tempted). Make sure your older sister also heeds this warning.

Your Kids are Wierd?
They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Seriously, I don’t know you well enough and you don’t know me well enough for me to be posting a comment like that, but it was done in fun and I enjoy reading your posts, even when I click on my friends link and can’t really tell for sure who posted what, I always know which posts are yours.

You're MAD!!!!
I’m not sure I can stop laughing long enough to type!!!la;skdflskjfslkdfjj! I think you have it covered pretty well though! Mind you I might have pointed out that if you guys were dead and Coie lived far away, they couldn’t legally live there on their own without a guardian or Foster parent!!! So just call them to the door and let them deal with it!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! And thanks for the offer of help even if it is too far away to do it!! I would have loved to have tried some of the apple pies, apple crumbles, apple sauce, apple butter, apple fritters, apple dumplings, apple cookies, apple cake, apple juice, candy apples, and anything else you managed to make with the abundant apple harvest!!!! You’ll have to save some for when we are in your neck of the woods in December!

I love those “together” times in the car. Not with all four of them (sibling rivalry is alive and well), but the one on one.
When the quiet one knows that it’s okay to just sit and “be” with each other, and his few chosen words are ones of great importance to him. Where he has my complete attention.
When the gabby one can talk for the whole ride without seemingly taking a breath, and it’s okay.
When the learning-but-not-yet-on-tune singer can belt out to her heart’s content, and know that Mommy is an appreciative audience.
When Mr. Questions can ask 13 questions in two minutes, barely stopping for an answer, and capping it off with, “Do I talk too much?” yet not waiting for a truthful answer :-).
I, too, love car rides with the kids *s*.

I needed a good laugh! How cute… Our car conversations are not so interesing… You gave very good rules though! That was too funny! I couldn’t stop laughing! You’re a riot! LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLO 😉
How have you been? I know I have been busy..staring at the computer! I have been editing my never ending, messed novel! The pc screen keeps yelling, “TURN IT OFF, TURN IT OFF!” I don’t think I will ever get it finished! Please pray for me! LOL
I even have a blister from holding a pen. I attempted to hand correct the mistakes but the pen is wearing a hole in my finger!
Ok, enough about me…I can’t wait to hear from you! God bless!
Sincerely yours,
Jocelyn

Great List
and let it be known that it was first written by the famous formally known HSB (may she rest in peace, but don’t tell that to the Anti-Christ) JenIg.
I wonder what my DC will ask on our way up to NC, we’re actually leaving next Sunday. Please keep us in your prayers.
God Bless,

To give you time…
If he introduces himself as the anti-Christ, ask him if he is actually the beast or the false prophet. As he puzzles through that theological question, it will give you time to slam the door and phone 911. Don’t tell them it’s the anti-Christ at the door… just say it’s some weirdo. They won’t come if you say it’s the anti-Christ.

They should tell him that if he comes back, they’re gonna give him one of Gena’s puppies. That oughta keep him away for a good long while. Even the Anti Christ can only take so much.

Either this is the funniest thing I’ve ever read, or my funny bone is particularly ticklish today.
Have her look at her pretend watch on her wrist (or a real one, if she wears one) and say “OH! Is it Halloween?? I had NO idea!” Throw him an apple and slam the door quick. If it isn’t apple season, throw him some candy. Better yet, proclaim “WE don’t celebrate Halloween!” Call 911.

Well, if he comes
then she should definitely call HSLDA before providing him with any information! Maybe they can convince him that he has to use due process before requiring them to fill out the Back of Hand/Forehead Numeration Requirement Form.
