Mia knows her brew
Today we went to Easter service and the annual egg hunt our church hosts.
Mia was decked out in a dress of such princess splender, well, it was splendid.
The boys wore blue jeans and a dress shirt. Hey, there were no holes in the knees and I am quite certain Jesus was not concerned with their attire. Mia, though, was certain He was very pleased with her “butiful dress”.
After the egg hunt and bible school, we went to the Easter service. During communion at our church, the children come to the alter for their blessing while the confirmed members take part in communion. I walked up to the alter with my little row of ducklings, and knelt down to pray and receive Holy Communion. The pastor blessed my little boys, Cory took communion, Mia was blessed and I received the bread. When I took the wine (in a small plastic cup) Mia, in the silence of the church and at the top of her lungs, said:
“IS THAT BEER? ARE YOU GOING TO DRINK BEER????”
And then she repeated it as I was drinking it.
“I SAID, IS THAT BEER?????”
I swear a little of the wine came into my nose as I choked and started laughing. I was not alone, as AJ, the alter server, was also laughing. As was Cory. Being a German congregation, and the nature of our town, I don’t think there was a stern face in the church.
I think even Jesus was smiling at her in her “butiful” dress.
Happy Easter from all of us here at “and baby makes 6″
Happy Easter to you too!
I have no doubt Mia was quite the little Princess

Happy Belated Easter to you and yours!
This had my entire family laughing out loud. Funny, funny Mia!! 8^)
ROFL! That is too funny! It’s been years since I’ve taken comunion, but I can remember how quiet it was (other than the chior singing)… That makes it even funnier!
Not many posts make me laugh right out loud… Thanks for that!
