Leaping Lizards

Walking home from church today:

Me:  Did you enjoy mass today, Piper?

Piper: Yes.

Me:  What did you like most?

Piper: The music.

Me:  Yes, I can tell you like the singing.

Piper:  Yeah. I like the singing best.

Me:  And you are a wonderful singer.  You have a beautiful voice, sweetie!

Piper:  I know.

Me: But honey?

Piper: Yeah, mommy?

Me:  The song is actually Hosanna.  Can you say “Ho-san-na”?

Piper: Ho-san-a.

Me:  Good! That’s right!  You see, the song is actually Hosanna in The Highest.  Not iguana in the highest.

Piper: But I like iguana better.

Oh my goodness! I love it! My daugther thought a song I would always sing to her was "We will live in peas" instead of "We will live in peace." And when I would correct her when she'd sing along she'd say the same thing. "But Mom, you KNOW I love peas."

that is so sweet.........and she will probably start singing hosanna while thinking iguana;))

@Jane: LOL!! Reminds me of that "whirled peas" bumper sticker which always cracks me up!
@Humorworks: You are probably right. To this day I cannot say the Our Father without envisioning a loaf of Wonder bread ("and give us this day our daily bread..."). Polka dots and all.

I can just hear her singing about the iguana. Too cute!
