The World Through Rayna's Eyes

Catching glimpses, through her comments, of how Rayna sees the world continually amuses me! Last night, Darcy's friend, Jayden, joined her for New Year's Eve. The girls had big plans...attend the church youth party at the University's Wellness Center from 9:30pm until 1:30am and then come back here to spend the rest of the night. Grant asked me, "What time are Jayden's parents picking her up tomorrow?" and I had replied, "Noon." Overhearing this conversation, Rayna piped up informatively, "Jayden's parents probably want her out of the house for a while so they can spend some quality time with their kitties!"

Then, today we were watching "Anne of Green Gables"... We had just finished watching the heartbreaking scene where Matthew Cuthbert falls in the pasture, dying of a heart attack with his head cradled in Anne's lap. Doug, walking in just as the scene ended asked in a voice thick with concern, "Die? Die? The man die?" Rayna exclaimed, "Yes, Doug! He got stepped on by a cow and died!" There were cows in the field, but, certainly none had stepped anywhere near poor fallen Matthew! We would have never known how RAYNA had just interpreted the scene had she not felt compelled to fill Doug in!
