Background: at church, the Primary (children's organization) leaders choose 1 child each week to "spotlight." The parents fill out a questionnaire sometime beforehand and then the leaders give some of the answers and the kids all try to guess who it is. A few weeks ago, one of the leaders stopped me in the hall and said that they didn't have a questionnaire filled out for 2 of my kids. I quickly tried to fill them out the best I could and gave them back to her. There were a few things I was sure of for each kid (i.e. Carter loves corn dogs, his favorite color is green and has been from the time he was very little. Miana likes the color purple and loves the song, Popcorn Popping.) Fast Forward to this past Sunday. Carter was the spotlighted child. I mentioned it in the car on the way home.
Me: Someone in this car was the spotlight kid today, I saw him leading the song up front.
Carter: I was, but at first I didn't know it was me. They said the person's favorite color was green, so I knew for sure it wasn't me.
Me: Green has been your favorite color for a very long time so I didn't know you had changed it. What's your favorite color?
C (sounding a little annoyed): Aqua, duh.
Then today, we sang Popcorn Popping and I asked Miana if that was her favorite song.
M: No, my favorite song is the horse one.
Me: Which horse one?
M: The one that says (now singing) "The horse runs down the road and runs because he doesn't know that he's on the road and getting hit by a car."
Oh, that horse one...
