I was telling Silas about how I came to faith in Jesus and I was telling him I used to disobey everything God said.
He asked me if I lied. I said “Oh, yes all the time”
He then asked me if I lived in the Belgian Congo.
I laughed and asked him why he asked me that.
He said “Because not a single person tells the truth in the Belgian Congo. They all lie.”
Of course I had to ask where he heard that!
“Pippy Longstocking” he answered.

Your kids say the cutest things! We still think you should compile all these little quotes and write a book.

The Belgian Congo?! I’m impressed that he remembered that! I’d coin the phrase, “You lie like a Belgian Congoan.”
