Delozier Family Hilarities

Here's an example of the short stories in this book:

Walkin' on water

We had just finished our nightly routine of reading a Bible story, praying, and brushing teeth. I was nearing the end of yet another fulfilling day of being a mother grateful to be forgiven and in love with Jesus and people. "All right, boys," I told Dave and Tim. "It's time to go to bed."

Anyone who knows toddlers knows that they don't just walk places--they have to experiment with every mode of travel they can dream up. So Timmy, in typical two-year-old fashion, began to slide on the linoleum with a broad, sweeping motion of his hands as he pushed off with his legs to move forward. As he did that, he imaginatively exclaimed with glee, "Yook, Imma! I'm swimmin' to bed!"

As Davey looked down at his little brother, his imagination sparked with a picture right out of the Jesus movie he loves to watch. He lifted up his head and walked on with an air of maturity that belied his actual character, confidently saying, "I'm walkin' on watah."
