the cows are in the soup

My daughter Kali is one of the most creative people I know.  From the crafts she designs and builds, to the crazy things she says.  She wrote a song the other day called "Aggressive Meatballs."  I realize that my job as a parent is to help wisely steward that gift.  I've begun trying teach her to play some instruments in order to be an outlet for her creativity.  As she gets older, I want to put her and my boys into circumstances where they will be stretched to grow.  But for now, I will continue to chuckle when I hear statements like, "the cows are in the soup."
