Determination

I'm trying to do barnchores while the kids ride their bikes, but it isn't so easy.

Griffin: Me going to climb that tree.
Me: Griffin, why don't you ride your bike instead, Mommy can't catch you if you start to fall right now.
Griffin: No, me going to climb that tree.
(tries to climb tree, but can't reach bottom branch)
Griffin: Help me Mommy.
Me: Sorry Griffin, if the tree is too tall, then it is too tall for you to climb.
Griffin: Me going to climb that tree.
(moves his bike to the bottom of the tree and uses it to climb up, Hanna flies up the tree and joins him)

Me: You be careful there Griffin.
Griffin: Ha ha, me climb that tree.

Baby Jesus' heavenly condo

Hanna: Did Baby Jesus die?
Me: Well, he did, but not when he was a baby, when he was a grown up man.
Hanna: No, Baby Jesus died.
Me: No, he was an adult, and then he rose to heaven.
Hanna: Is Baby Jesus in his condo right now?
Me: Condo? No, he's not in a condo.
Hanna: Didn't you know that heaven has condos?

For Grandpa

Hanna: Mommy, I really want you to get a race car. Daddy can get one too.
Me: What would we do with race cars?
Hanna: You could race. When you are driving on the road, you could go faster than the other cars. You know, like Grandpa does.
