The funny conversation was about how Chloe needs to stop talking about my boobies! She told everyone at dinner round my parents that 'Livia bites mummy's boobies'; thanks darling. There was a lot if laughter which led to her repeating it over and over! Chloe then said to me the other day that my boobies were 'beautiful' - don't panic, she meant my jumper not my boobs! I don't tend to wander round in the nude! (Can you see why I want this blog to stay a secret from my pupils at school!) So I had to try and explain why we don't talk about boobies in public. Not sure she's got that one yet which is a little worrying.
The second tricky conversation happened when Chloe opened the door to some Jehovah's Witnesses whilst I was upstairs. I had to explain to her that it was dangerous to open the door when I wasn't there. Naturally she wanted to know why. I explained that sometimes there weren't very nice people around who might take her away or hurt her. I don't know whether this was a bit too much for a 3 year old but my heart was still racing from finding her taking to strangers at the front door so I guess I was trying to scare her a little.
Chloe then broke my heart by saying, 'But naughty people don't exist do they'. I think she was treating this idea like the monsters that I always tell her are not real. I felt awful having to tell her that, yes they are real, but that she didn't have to worry about them because I was looking after her and God was too.
I can't wait to be in God's kingdom where the 'naughty people' don't exist.
