Ben: Avery - would you please sit on my feet while I do sit-ups?
Avery: (starts to comply then changes mind) Dad, you can do it without me. I can do it, see. (displays ability)
Ben: Please Avery. I need your help.
Avery: Dad. (places her hand on his knee and looks him in the eye)
Dad, I want you to believe in your destiny. I want you to believe that you are strong enough. I want you to believe that you can do sit-ups without me sitting on your feet.

Local Boy
If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charities expenditure excludes them...Sometimes our pride also hinders our charity; we are tempted to spend more than we ought on the showy forms of generosity (tipping, hospitality) and less than we ought on those who really need our help. - C.S. Lewis

The best part is that she totally BELIEVES all those things--what an adorable little girl!
Inspirational! I love it
She did not say that! You've raised a poetic genius.
Oh my gosh I'm laughing so hard!! She is just too cute!!
a future inspirational leader? or she could try her talents on the motivational speaker circuit. hilarious.
Can she come over and give me that pep talk ;)
Oh my goodness, what a character! Love it!
I believe!:) so inspiring, avery is!
The important thing is that you put the right parts in Italics. Well spoken, and well written. :-)
That Avery is a girl wonder! I was a total lemming and always fell for sitting on my Dad's feet.
Love it! It sounds like she got her pep-talk from the Shamu show at Sea World. "Anything possible, as long a you Believe." Did background music happen to chime in?:)
She cracks me up:) Next time I'm thinking I can't go on I know who to call:)
Not sure whether to laugh or cheer. She must be headed for the stars. The glitter is clearly an omen . . .
That is so funny!! Shoot, she sounds like a child prodigy. She is already a motivational speaker.
Where do kids learn these things? So cute!
Can I borrow Avery as my workout coach? What a cutie.
