Check Mate

Preston heard Landon crying upstairs and went to investigate.

There, he found Katelyn with her back turned to Landon with folded arms and frowning.  Preston asked Landon what was wrong and through tears he answered, "I HATE losing in chess!"

Preston was a little surprised by this response, noticed a chess board on the floor between Katelyn and Landon with a King knocked over, and asked what happened. Landon explained pointing to his sister, "She moved the horsey up and over and she was supposed to move it over and up.  That's how she won. She did it wrong."

Preston, stifling a laugh at the fact he just walked in on a 5-year-old daughter teaching a 4-year-old son to play chess, just gave them both a hug and said, "Playing chess is fun, isn't it.  Keep playing and let's see what happens."

Prayer

Landon said the prayer at lunch time today. He finished with, "in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
Then he continued. . .
"Christ. Like the Christ on a pizza."

Wow! I hope Jesus is laughing too.
