ultimate authority

she had been saying "someone told me..."
"someone told me it is good to eat ice cream whenever you want... someone told me that when it is dark five yr olds can be out alone, but little kids have to stay by the house... etc etc". finally i had to say "sometimes what someone says isn't always true."
it started the other day. the calling down of the divine.
"gum is good for kids to have when they eat real food. god told me that. really - god told me that!"
and just what do you do with that one? nobody in their right mind would dare argue with that - telling a five yr old she didn't hear the voice of an almighty. and she's just smart enough not to play the god card on BIG issue items. she calls him in on the little things - that she'd likely get anyway - but why not have some insurance?
"god told me that you don't have to take a bath when you are just dirty. but you do when you are filthy." well okay - if god told you...

*my digicam is dead and this is an OLD photo. new batts mean a trip into another dimension and spending money i'd rather eat. it may be quite here for a few days. love love
