overheard conversation

yesterday i was lying on the couch while the kids took their naps. it was about time for them to be waking up and sure enough i heard marin's door open. she was whimpering a bit for "mommy" and i heard her go into the kitchen and look down the stairs to our bedroom. norton was in there with the door closed so she didn't go down. she went back into the hallway and i soon heard townsend's door open. he came out and this is what i heard.

townsend- "marin, are you scared in your room in the dark?"
marin- "yes, i'm scared of the dark."
townsend- "why don't you just pray to God to ask you to not be scared?"
marin- "help me not be scared."
townsend- "no! pray to God to help you not be scared."
marin- "God, please help me not be scared."
townsend- "i'm not God!"

they continued on with new conversation about animals and such. it was so fun to hear them having an actual conversation. i can't believe how big they are. :)
