More Andersonisms

Believe it or not, we actually get, from time to time, requests from people to share more Andersonisms. So here are a couple from over the weekend.  

On Saturday we bought a little swimming pool to put in our backyard. 
It's very hot and we thought the kids would like some quick relief when we aren't able to go somewhere cooler (i.e. the beach, a real pool or a nearby waterfall).  

After we put some water in the pool and then got in Anderson asked this important question:

"Do waves kill blubber?"

The only thing we can figure that took his brain there was earlier he talked about going to the zoo and seeing some whales (which never happened, by the way).  

Yesterday we had our house church.  Everyone was traveling because of Christmas.  I mean everyone. For the first time in three years our house church consisted of just Americans. Our family. We had an all English worship and that hasn't happened in a few years.  Just our family singing and sharing.  It was kind of cool for us to have a day like that.  

Anyway, Benay shared with us about when Jesus was tempted in the desert after he had fasted for 40 days.  Anderson listened to what she was sharing and then asked this question:

"Who is more hungry?  Jesus or Africa?"

He's a pretty deep thinker.  No one had an answer to either question.  In quoting our current president all we could say was: "It was above our pay grade."

We'll share more as he shares his wisdom with us.
