Theology

Today, Lilly gave me a lesson in theology.

After lunch she told me that her "drawers" were clean, when in fact, they were not. As I was getting her cleaned up I thought it might be a good opportunity to talk about telling the truth. "Lilly," I said, "When you told mommy that you were clean that was not true. Saying things that aren't true makes God and Jesus sad." She replied, "And Moses. (pause) And Abraham. (pause) And Isaac."

I'll admit, I couldn't hide my snickering. I'm not sure she learned anything out of this teachable moment, but I sure did!
