Henry Speaks

Oh Henry... Sometimes that boy just does not know when it's not a good idea to speak his mind. Bless his heart, he is SO honest. We were at Sonic for lunch Saturday. When the car hop brought our food out I had the back door open tending to Kash so she got a good view of all 4 boys. She was so sweet and went on and on about how handsome they are.

Well Henry decideds he wants to talk to her. Before I go into what he had to say, let me describe our sweet car hop. She is a thin older woman with bleached blonde hair piled up on top of her head... kind of a messy but cute. Lots of lipstick and lipliner.

Well Henry asked, "What happened to your hair?!"

I interrupted with, "Henry, hush!"

She said, "Oh, that's okay (with a chuckle). It's windy today so it's a bit messy."

Henry then said, "Well you look like you got shocked!" He is very serious.

I again am trying to quiten him but she says its okay and goes in to detail about her use of hairspray. Oh my! I was embarrassed. So was Nelson. He let her know that he loves poofy hair. LOL!

After she walks away, I tried to explain to Henry AGAIN that we shouldn't always say whats on our mind. And if we are going to tell someone how they look, it should be nice so we don't hurt feelings. He was sure she didn't have hurt feelings because she said okay and laughed. He was also sure it wouldn't have hurt his feelings because, "I don't care what anyone thinks about the way I look." I couldn't let it go so I reminded Henry how earlier in the day a little boy wasn't being nice to Jack and it really upset him. Henry really defended him and the boys mother stepped in to get her son. I told him that car hop was probably someones little sister. He understood that and insisted on going to apologize. He waited on the sidewalk for her to come back by. When he got back in the car I asked what she said to him after his apology. "It's okay, honey. Jesus loves you!"

Something else about Henry this weekend that made me giggle... the picture below is his bulletin from church Sunday. (I stayed home with Jack & Kash) He wrote this to James after James told him to pay attention to the pastor...
