I was just supervising our three girls (ages 20 months, 3 and 4-1/2) as they unloaded the dishwasher. (Here’s a recent photo, just for the sake of cuteness):
Anyway, as they were going about their work, I overheard (and contributed to) the following conversation:
Deborah (3) (emphatically!, to the 20 month-old): “Hannah, you’re going to HELL!”
Mom: “Deborah, that’s not very encouraging. Instead of telling her she’s going to hell, why don’t you try to tell her about Jesus?”
Deborah: “Hannah, can you say Jesus?”
Hannah: “Je-us”
Deborah: “Now Hanny knows Jesus!”
Rebekah: “No, she doesn’t know Jesus! She just knows how to SAY ‘Jesus!'”
Out of the mouths of babes… 🙂
