Sponge People

In case you can't tell from the above picture, those are the Sponge People made by two of my children in church on Sunday. And, yes, the one on the left "is still alive after being shot in the head." Thank you, Justin!

The kids and I talked about those Sponge People on the way home from church on Sunday morning. I wanted to find out what they had learned. We do this often, and it amazes me what they have learned.

So, we talked about those sponges, and what they do....which is to soak up things...water and spilled soda and the like. And how each of them are like sponges.

One of them made the connection with some friends we had warned them about spending time with, who have subsequently gotten themselves in trouble with the law, and how the actions of those friends rub off on them. We also discussed the fact that other things they soak up are ways that friends talk, and things they see on TV or hear on the radio.

They got it....they learned why LOYALTY to the wrong people is a problem. And the bonus? They are learning why we don't want them to watch certain things on TV or listen to certain music!

What did your kids get out of their Sponge People?
