HOORAY FOR DADDY’S STINKY FEET

I was at the preschool program today and asked the advice of other mothers on how to get a 4-year-old to smile naturally.

She’s to be a flower girl in a wedding tomorrow evening. She has been photographed so much that, lately, when she sees a camera pointing at her, her face erupts in the biggest, fakest, most forced smile you ever saw. It almost looks painful, she’s smiling so big, with her little white Chiclet teeth placed artificially on edge.

I don’t want her to ruin the wedding pictures. How to get her to smile naturally?

Another mother had the answer: right before the camera snaps, tell her that her daddy has stinky feet. It always makes ‘em relax and giggle.

I know it’ll work. Whoever said all’s fair in love and war probably had a 4-year-old.

Prayer request: We pray for a safe trip for our older daughter’s softball team en route to an out-of-town tournament. Lord, reward their many hours of practice and hard work with some snappy hits and great pitching this weekend. (Proverbs 24:29b)
