Tonight at supper Benjamin (3.5 yrs) turned to Joseph and said, "Christ is Lord, Jo Jo."
I looked up and double checked to make sure that I hadn't misheard, "What did you say, Ben?"
"Christ is Lord, Mom. And you have to pray for Jesus," he answered.
"You mean you have to pray to Jesus?" I gently corrected him.
"Yeah, and Mary too."
To which his father added, "If those are the only things you know, Ben, you'll be just fine."
And then our still-waters-run-deep son prepared for a third and final statement. My ears perked up expecting a piece of wisdom to complete his theological trinity.
I was humbled.
"I wish I had a cow on my head." Yes, Ben. In some ways we all do.

Oh my. Priceless! Benjamin is a real theologian AND crack-up.
But his final statement reminds me of that old poem:
"Little birdie in the sky,
Why did you do that in my eye?
But I won't holler, and I won't cry;
I'm just glad a COW can't fly!"
I laughed out loud at this one. Thanks, Elena, for giving me a morning chuckle.
I had tears from laughing at this one. I am not at SR. I's convent right now..on a much needed break but can't wait to talk about this entry!!!!
