Just tell Him!

Today in class, one of my first graders asked me, out the the blue, "Mrs. Bird, do you want kids?"

I paused, smiled and said, "I sure do!" and then (to preserve my sanity and prevent more questions) added, "Someday!"

She looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Well, tell God!"

I laughed and asked, "And then what will happen?"

Her response: "God will make your belly bigger and put a baby in there! Just tell Him!"

So, I told Him. And now here it is in writing:

God, I really want a baby. I am ready! I know my husband will be an amazing father and I'll do my best as a mother. Please, make my belly bigger and put a baby in there.
