Gracie came home from VBS and told me this story: “Mom, Jesus was on the planet Africa (“It’s a continent, honey.”) and he had 100 sheep, but he lost one so he went out and found him on the planet Africa (“Still a continent.”). Jesus really loves sheep!”

“So, the earth flooded and Noah put all the animals in the ark to save them,” I said to Gracie.
“Wow,” she said. “Did this happen when you were a baby?”
“No, it happened thousands of years ago.”
“Oh,” Gracie said thoughtfully. “Was Nana there?”
*********
“Mom, I played with my best friend at church tonight,” Gracie said.
“Oh, yeah?” I asked. “What’s her name?”
“I don’t know. Abby or something like that…”
**********
(Overheard in the backseat)
Bean: Gracie, how do you know what equal means???
Gracie: I don’t. I just say it anyway.
**********
“Mommy! I saw two ladybugs and one was climbing on top of the other one!”
“Uhhhh….”
“I know what they were doing!”
“Uhhhh…”
“They were giving each other piggyback rides!!!”
“YES, THEY WERE! YOU ARE RIGHT!”
**********
“God is holy and wormy,” Gracie sang.
“I think it’s holy and WORTHY,” corrected Bean.
“NO IT’S NOT!” Gracie screeched before continuing, “Wormy is your name.”
**********
“They are being slow pokes,” Gracie said. “And we are being fast pokes.”
**********
“Mom,” said Gracie. “Where do babies come from?”
“They come from God.”
“But how does he get them in the mommy’s tummy?”
“Well, it’s just magic.”
“Like, Santa Claus?????”
“Ummm… Yeah.”
“Are Jesus and Santa brothers?”
