Jesus is a Girl!

According to my 3 1/2 year old daughter, Jesus is a girl. We sat down to eat lunch after her morning at school. This is how our conversation went.

E: Mommy, we celebrated Jesus' Birthday today.
Me: Oh, really! How exciting. did you sing happy birthday to Jesus?
E: Uh huh! She's a beauty.
Me: What? He's a beauty?
E: Jesus is a beautiful girl.
Me: No, Jesus is a boy. Do you know who He is?
E: Yes, she's a girl.
Me: Emma, Jesus is God's son. He's a boy.
E: No he's not. he's a girl.
Me: No... He's a man.
Then she just walked away.

So funny.

so funny! gmk sometimes walks away from me, too, if she disagrees with what i'm saying.... but it's usually something to do with taking a nap or brushing her teeth.

Is it the long hair? And the long 'dress'? E just gets cuter and cuter - and as I suspected, very introspective.

Haha... I don't know if I should admit this, but I TOTALLY misread the first line of the blog!!! I thought [in my insanity and obvious need of glasses] it read:

Jesus, IT'S a girl!

Haha... that is all.

P.S. Kids ARE cute and "say the darndest things"... especially our little E!
