A red rubber band . . .

This week YiLi has been going to vacation Bible School at our church.  So every night we ask her what she learned, what she liked best, what friends she was making, and so on. Tonight we were asking her if she has the same teacher every night, which she does. We were trying to figure out who she is from YiLi's description. YiLi's teacher is kind of young, kind of skinny, kind of light hair like Mommy's  . . . and she wears a red rubber band around her neck . . . yup, that's what she insisted on!

When we finally got to the bottom of it, and realized she meant red bandana, Rick and I burst into laughter. (Good thing YiLi is such a good sport! She just wanted in on the joke.) So Daddy was pretending to snap his neck and then he would laugh. When she finally understood what a rubber band was, she also broke out in free flowing hysterical laughter!

My mom is really really ill right now, and we are taking on a lot of serious tasks, even YiLi is visiting and helping out. So this was just SO GOOD TO full-belly laugh for quite a few minutes.

Between laughing together and finally mailing the 134 pages of response to our IRS examination for the adoption credit, it has been a good day at our house.
