Life's not fire!

My daughter is completely deaf in one ear, and has quiet a southern twang, which sometimes makes her words mixed up. It's fun and she has a great sense of humor about it. It's like a toddler with their "cute" little phrases and words. She's also all about equal treatment for all the kids. She's the child you always hear saying 'that's not fair!!' My daughter likes everything balanced and equal. She still wonders why Heavenly Father made her the only sister in our family- making it 3 boys to 1 girls! I have tried to teach her that fair and equal treatment rarely happens in the real world. I always tell her 'life's just not fair'. I say all this in order to prefaces today's quote, which comes from my daughter.

She was trying to explain to our 2 year old why he couldn't have her cookie, and he just didn't understand and kept screaming for the cookie. She finally told him,

"Little fellow, Life's not Fire!"

It took me a moment, then I realized she was trying to tell him life's not fair. This entire time I've been telling life's not fair- she thought I was saying 'life's not FIRE'. We all enjoyed a good laugh, and now on the top of our quote board in the kitchen we have posted:

LIFE'S NOT FIRE!
