Maybe, just maybe, they ARE listening

Just when you think your kids don't ever hear you, you'll find out some chunk of wisdom did actually land in their busy minds.
Q and I were watching America's Got Talent, our favorite show when its G-rated. A middle-aged man performs a song on a flute he made out of a broom and a horn he made out of a dust pan. Q says, "thats creative. He must have parents like you." I asked him why he thought that. I was wondering if he thinks Im THAT old. Q said, "he is really creative and you're always telling me to be creative."
I took that as a compliment. He knows I expect him to stretch his brain and try wild ideas. Aside from serving Jesus his whole life, I couldn't ask for more. He DOES listen to me. If he wants to drill into my household appliances to create new means of transportation, its alright by me.
