Amy at church

We were listening to a church lesson over Zoom. Amy was in the room but I didn't think she was really listening because it was an adult meeting (first). The speaker was talking about at first there were only a few temples but there was an "explosion of temples" during President Hinckley's time, meaning suddenly there were a lot. I think you can maybe see where this is going.


Amy: 😲"the temple exploded?????" 


Metaphors are lost on the young but it was still hilarious.

Amy

"I wouldn't go near you Mr. Stranger. Or any of your stuff. I wouldn't touch you with a 39 and a half foot pole. Not that you're the Grinch or anything... I just don't like people. I'm the Grinch..."
-Jessica, speaking as theoretical proxy for Amy and her stranger anxiety (could be said of any of my kids at age 2)

Alana: Because you were talking about soccer.  Except that makes no sense.
