Wow. That's High!

My daughter Natalie and I were swinging side by side earlier this week, on one of those perfect Minnesota spring evenings. We were having a "swing race" to see who could pump their legs faster and make their swing sail higher.

The following conversation then ensued:

Natalie: "Mom, I'm going so high, I'm touching the clouds!"

Mom (not to be outdone): "Oh yeah? I'm so high, I'm touching the stars!"

Natalie: "I'm so high, I'm touching the Lord!"

Seeing as she's never used that particular phrase before, I almost doubled up with laughter. ("What's so funny, Mom?") And I think I lost my edge in the contest from that point on.
