Kneeling, praying.........and KISSING?

Like the cheesy night shows on the radio..."crying, lovin', and leavin'" or some version of that....well, we have our own version "kneeling, praying, and kissing." Let me explain for a moment. During Wednesday night worship at our church, we usually sit right behind our associate pastor's wife and their 5 year old twin girls. For several weeks now, Clark has been sitting with the girls. (since we are right behind in the next pew) She is also taking the "Parenting in the Pew" class on Sunday mornings, so we are all trying to teach our children how to worship without the need for crayons, toys, etc. So last night she was trying to have the children follow along during the liturgy, etc. Prayer time rolls around and she had the children pull out the kneeling bench and they were all kneeling, hands folded, heads bowed......then it happened. One of the twins puts her arm around Clark....and that was all it took! Clark leans over and kisses her on the shoulder...then leans over and kisses the other one on the cheek. Back and forth until he had kissed each several times. We finally had to break up the kiss fest that was going on. We were all laughing (silently, of course...it WAS prayer time). I laughingly apologized to their mom after church and she said "well, you didn't see the girls trying to fight him off...did you?" Ha!!

So I just thought you might like a glimpse into our lives...it's always something with Mr. Clark!

Here is another funny scenario that went down on our way home from church. (Clark had an empty styrofoam cup in his car seat cup holder...we heard crushing noise coming from the backseat)
me: Clark, did you just crush that cup?
Clark: umm, no
T.C. and I both: you must have...did you...we heard it
Clark: no
(Ali decides to investigate herself and leans over and inspects the cup)
Ali: yes you did...you poked a hole in it
Clark: well, I didn't mean to
T.C. and I: that is lying...even if you didn't mean to, you need to tell the truth...please don't lie to us
Clark: FINE!!!!!
(ok, so his final response was like a total teenager...FINE!...where does this 4 year old get this stuff?)
