Hold Your Tongue

Yesterday morning before going to church we were discussing the way we talk to each other and if we don't have something nice to say, we probably shouldn't say it...mainly between the kids. This is extremely important with summer here and the kids home together all day long. Gabi pipes up and says, "my teacher said if you feel like you have to say something that isn't nice, you should hold your tongue..." and she proceeded to stick her tongue out, grab it with her fingers and started to talk, "like this." Ben and I had to smile and of course, Tyler went into the explanation of how "holding your tongue" is an actual expression, not an action. Out of the mouths of babes.....(ha ha)
