My kid says the most random things.
I was sneezing, and I said, "I'd give about anything to stop sneezing."
Harmony, age seven, mutters something about Jesus.
Thinking that maybe she'd said I should ask Jesus, or something like that, I asked her to repeat herself.
She said, "I said that I wished Jesus was dead so we'd have lots of money."
I was confused, understandably, and didn't even know what part of that to address- whether Jesus exists, whether she knows he already died, what she thinks his death means, or where the money comes in.
After a moment's thought, I asked her about the money. "How would Jesus being dead make us have money?"
She said, "Because, I'd go through his pockets for loose change."
Oh. Well, okay then.
I think your kid is awesome. This is why I love children, the superior honesty.
