Picture the scene:
We are in church, it's Christmas Eve. We had brought things for the kids to do, but they are already bored with them. The service is short, only an hour, and it's time for a short message from the pastor.
Tuck stands up front and begins to ask the kids in the audience questions about Christmas.
Keep in mind, there are only about 50 or so people in church. Most people are out of town visiting family. Also note that the pastor and his wife know us well. We've been going there for about 4 years and have been involved early on.
"What are we celebrating on Christmas Eve?" asks Tuck our pastor.
"Presents!" shouts Alex.
"What present are we celebrating?" asks Tuck.
"Me!" shouts Alex
"Was it a good time for Mary to be traveling?"
"No," says Alex and many other children.
"Why not?"
"Because it was cold." again shouts Alex.
Laughter, laughter, and more laughter ensue with each response Alex gives.
I had to write down what he said because it was just so funny.
One day, Alex, you will read this and laugh so hard at your four year old answers to one of the greatest stories ever told.
