Out of the Mouths of Babes

I was at the bicycle repair shop this morning with the front tire of our double jogging stroller, which I discovered had a flat tire just as we were heading out for the bus stop.  Aaron and Nate were with me, and Aaron was watching the repair process very closely.  The guy was having a hard time getting the tire off the rim, and exclaimed something along the lines of, "Oh my gosh, this tire just doesn't want to come off!".  Aaron was quick to admonish him, telling him "You shouldn't take God's name in vain, that's bad." The man quickly apologized and agreed that he shouldn't talk like that.  Some days I think we have a lot to learn from our children about confronting sin in the world around us and sticking up for what is right.  Way to go Aaron!
