I just finished dinner with part of my family and an extra teenager. We had a lively conversation about politics. I love hearing from the teenagers. Our oldest son is busy developing and expressing his opinions. He would make a wonderful lawyer someday. He loves politics, debating, and history. He isn't that fond of school so I doubt that he will stick around long enough to become a lawyer. It can be frustrating at times when my kids' opinions are different from my own. I want them to see things the way I see them, but quite often they see things with a different viewpoint. I am just thankful that our kids are thinking and that we take the time to talk over the issues. I wonder how many American families sit around with their teenagers and talk politics. This is something that is done a lot in our home... usually over a plate of food or a cup of coffee!!grace and peace,

The best conversations at our house happen over a good meal too....Only, mine don't like the conversation if I am drinking coffee, because they think my breath stinks.;)
You have great kids, Julie!:)
Amy,
You have to develop a love for the smell of coffee in your children then coffee breath won't offend their little noses. If that doesn't work, move them across the room!!!

What a great picture. I am glad your children can open up and talk to you. I also know what you mean about it bugging you when they don't agree. =)
