Concerns

Mae has seen her share of disaster for one so young. When she was 4 we came home (in Michigan) from our Christmas time with family to find that a water pipe had broken. It had been spewing water for days before our return and the damage was extensive. In Mae's child eyes, our house was broken. Then, last month we fled our home to escape the fires. All this has her concerned about impending doom coming to revisit us. In light of all this she is still a child and sees and says things in a child-like way. Here is a conversation she had with Ryan last night:

Mae: Daddy, what happens if our house gets crashed and broken?

Ryan: Well, that's not going to happen.

Mae: But what if it does?

Ryan: It's not going to happen.

Mae: But if it does will we go to a hell-tel?

Some of them can be a hell-tel.

Jenn, that's just what I was thinking! And I've stayed at a few.

LOL!!! Yes, I've stayed at a few in my days, and don't exactly desire to return. Ever. So, to answer Mae's question....no, we will not be staying at a Hell-tel! :)

What a little cutie! Doesn't it just make you want to bundle her up and protect her from all those scary things?

Hell-tel? How cute is that? She is certainly a sweetie.
