theological dinner conversations

Interesting conversation at dinner tonite:

J: Jesus has a mom named Mary and a dad named Joseph.
Me: I thought God was Jesus' dad.
J: No! God is his grandpa!
Me: Really? Where did you hear that?
J: Nowhere, I just made it up.

There is so much commentary could add, but will refrain from.

sharing is nice.

J: When I go to work, I will go to the bank on Tuesday and Saturday.
Me: Oh, you want to work in a bank? What will you do there?
J: I will give people money, if they don't have any.

ah, labels....

J the elder has decided he wants to be a Native American for Halloween. I have to admit, DH and I were not sure how to handle this; we don't want to be buying into any stereotypes or anything like that. We finally decided, what the heck, he does not even know the stereotypes! Anyway, the lastest hilarity stems from that.
J: I want to go to Africa and be an African American, can we go there someday?
Me: (trying to think of someway to explain ethnicity to a 4 year old)So, you want to be an American in Africa?
J:Yes! Can I wear my Native American costume when I am there?

ah, anatomy!

Overhead after bath time.
J the elder asked his father why girls did not have penises. I have always just said girl's don't need penises.
Anyway, tonight J asked why girls do not have penises, and his father answered "because they have vaginas"
J: what do vaginas do?
DH: The same thing penises do.
J: I want a vagina!

Adventures in dining

A favorite place to go to a treat is the Colville Stree Patisserie. We don't get there often, but we will often follow a visit to Sweet Basil Pizzeria with dessert at Patisserie. J the elder loves macaroons. Who knew. Last time we were there, he proclaimed: "These macaroons are like hamburger with chocolate in the middle!"

Conversation overheard at bedtime between DH and J the elder:
J: Daddy, can I wear my penis to bed?
DH: (laughter barely contained) Why, yes you can! It doesn't come off.
