"Mom? What's circumcision?"

.....says my youngest daughter. But the funny part was that my 15 yo son had just walked into the room quietly putting clothes away. Poor boy turned right back around and left the room!

It was quite funny! But there is more to the story.....

For the first several years of homeschooling I found that while my other students learned to read quite easily, this last one had much difficulty! So much difficulty that we later discovered she has dyslexia. I finally began to take a hands off approach with her, telling her that when *she* became ready, she would learn to read. I knew I had equipted her with all the resources necessary to read, it was then up to her to pull them all together and learn to use them.

Fast forward two years later and for the past couple of weeks I have peeked in on her reading at night. Nothing unusual there, she read right along while I am reading and when I put my book down, she puts her's down and we go to sleep.

However, what I have noticed is that she is picking up her Bible at night right now. This child has "chosen" to lay the novels down for a while and to read the Bible! How cool is that?

But last night I saw something else.....she had two Bibles out and opened! She was reading from one and then researching in her other version something she didn't understand. Now we have never had any lessons in how to study the Bible.....but just like her reading skills, somewhere along the way she has discovered for herself how to pull it all together in a way that she can understand. She *desires* to read and comprehend the Word and it is a God given desire because I have taken the hands off approach and just exposed her but not forced her to get in there and dig. God has put that desire in her heart and she has enough confidence to go for it. Way cool!!!

To answer the question she asked me, I did give her a more clinically correct answer....to which she said "eew!"
