"Let My People Go"

We have been studying Exodus in our Bible time the last few weeks. Specifically, Pharoah and the plagues. The other day we had just finished eating lunch. I was giving the children their chores, having them clean up after themselves. After a few minutes, my little girl got frustrated, looked at me and said, "You're just like Pharoah. You always make us work." I had to really keep from laughing while explaining to her that Mommy was nothing like Pharoah (on so many levels :). Oh, and of course, the fact that she is not supposed to talk back when Mommy gives her a job! After holding back the laughter, my ten year old son looked at me, smiling, and said, "Well, at least you know she's been paying attention during Bible!"
