Little Rachel can be very contrary at times. This morning when she refused to come to family prayer and screamed when Johnny picked her up to bring her to family prayer, I laughed and said, "She can be so contrary." John laughed and said, "I guess we should have named her Mary." Then Ruth and Kate started chanting, "Mary, Mary quite contrary how does your garden grow." John and I were like no, be quiet for family prayer. But Ruth kept going, "with silver bells and taco shells." I said, "Taco shells?" Ruth said, "Yeah, " in a well duh, mom, tone of voice, "everyone says taco shells." Then I really had to laugh, and explain that it is cockle shells. However, is it cockle shells? I am not sure, I will have to look that up. After laughing, Kate said, "It should be Taco bells, and yummy shells." We did eventually get to family prayer and Rachel did attend.
note: John wants everyone to know that he was not referring to his sister Mary. He was only referring to the nursery rhyme.
