Another one

Jarrah:  sitting at the dinner table (without any attire - Ben has been looking after her this week and she had just had a bath - and greeted me at the door (sans clothes) - we then proceeded to dinner (sans clothes)... at the table she makes this statement:
"When God comes I'm going to be ready."
Then, a minute later, "I'm going to get dressed."

3 Year Olds

Jarrah was getting dressed yesterday.  She was going with Ben to Jombok Haos for the day.  We have a volunteer out there from the States named Phil.  Jarrah chooses a dress to wear.  She normally chooses to wear her old and very old favourite clothes but today she chose a dress.  She tells me, "I want to wear a dress so that when I see Phil, I look pretty."  What have I got growing in my house??!

Another thing happened that day at Jombok Hoas.  Ben related this story to me.  The kids and Ben and the staff were sitting down to lunch.  Jarrah is talking about bucks and does.   She asks Ben what a Buck is and Ben throws the question back to her.  She asks what a doe is and Ben throws the question back again. She knows all the answers.  She then asks Ben, "How do you mate?"  Ben gets embarrassed and asks again what her question was, thinking she would ask about the deer.  She repeats what she originally asked.  Ben doesn't answer straight away.  Amelie then whispers into Jarrah's ear, "that isn't a good question to ask."  hmmmmmm....
