Sam Has the Last Word

Matthew was reading the story of the prodigal son from Sam's Bible last night. When he read about the younger son running away from home and how that wasn't a good thing, Sam had a differing opinion.

Matthew: If you ran away, we would be so sad. Just like this boy's father is sad.
Sam: But Dad, running is exercise.

Sam has a globe pillow -- it's called "Hug A Planet". He loves to find where people live -- and he never forgets. He can show you where everyone lives:

Grammie and Poppy -- Washington
Grandpa and Nana -- Oregon
Caleb and Joanna -- California
Auntie Emily and Uncle Matt -- Michigan (Sam calls that state the mitten)
Uncle Barry -- Missouri
Auntie Katie -- Mexico (not to be confused with New Mexico, which he points out every time)

He can even find Korea, which it where Won Tak is from, the foreign exchange student staying with Grandpa and Nana.

Today he wanted to find some new places, so when he pointed to New Zealand and asked what this place was called, I told him. Without missing a beat he said, "Where is Old Zealand?".

That guy is always thinking!
