Wait...How old are you, again???

Here's a few tidbits of my conversation with Hails at bedtime tonight -

Me: ...and we pray all this in your Son's Holy Name, Amen.

Hailey: Did you just say sun?

Me: Yeah, why?

Hailey: Why did you say sun?

Me: I was talking about Jesus. Jesus is God's Son.

Hailey: Jesus IS God, silly!!

This, in turn, led to an explanation of the trinity...to my 3-year old. And surprisingly, she seemed to understand it to some degree?? :/

Later in the conversation I passed along a greeting from Auntie Sheeshe...here's how that played out...

Me: Oh, and Sheeshe told me to give you a big hug and tell you she loves you "DIIIISSSSSS" much.

Hails: Wait, why did you say "Dis"...you should say "this"...

Me: Auntie Sheeshe always says "DIIIIISSSSS" much.

Hails: Oh, so "Dis" and "this" are the same, like "purple" and "purpur" are the same...

Me: Yep. Wow, you're too smart for your own good.

Then a few minutes later she asked how the scratch on her cheek would heal...here's how trying to be cute was really confusing to my literal thinker...

Me: In the night while you're asleep, Jesus will kiss it for you and it will get better and better until it's gone.

Hails: Wait...He will come out of my heart and kiss my cheek?

Me: Ummm...er...yeah...sort of.

Hails: Will I see Him?

Me: No...you won't see Him with your eyes. We will see Him when we go to Heaven, though!

Hails: Oh. What does He look like?

Me: He has kind eyes, smiles a lot, and has long hair. He has the kindest face of anyone we've ever seen!

Hails: When I see Him, will His back be better?

Me: Huh?

Hails: From when He died on the cross?

Me: Uh, yeah. His back is all better, Hails.

Seriously...she's smarter than me most of the time.
