Lydieism on Heavenly Expectations



There are few things I know are absolutes:
1. My Frankie Valli impression is Spot. On. 
2. Living without coffee is a fate worse than death.
3. I am a terrible blogger. 

This whole remembering and planning thing, just aren't my strengths. I said all that to say I am sorry for the delay in providing you with the Lydiesm's and Lexism's you so deserve. It is your great misfortune to be unable to spend the many hours I do with these kids and the least I can do is provide you with their entertaining insights. Should you ever feel such a devastating estrangement is decreasing your quality of life, please feel free to offer your time in the form of free babysitting. 

No? Oh well, I tried. Just consider it. Keep it in the back of your mind for oh say, Valentines day or something. 

Lydia has been spending a lot of energy in creating a bucket list. So far the items on said list are:


1. Perfect the art of winged liner
2. To find a way not to die
3. Become Rory Gilmore and go to Yale

There were a few items that seemed impossible within her lifespan and one particular item became the following Lydieism. 


‪#Lydieism‬ on heavenly expectations:
Lyd- Is one direction a Christian band?
Me- No, dear. They sing pop music, not Christian music.
Lyd- oh no! I was really hoping to meet Harry in heaven. I thought I'd for sure get to meet him there, since meeting him on earth is kind of impossible. It was kind of like on my after bucket list.

Let me explain the concept of the after the bucket list. As the bucket list is intended to be a list of items you complete before you die, the after the bucket list is meant for your eternal life in heaven. Because this is how a 9 Year old girls mind works.
