July 16th, 2006 One last note on Goliath
A few weeks ago, Tricia and I noticed that we have been delinquent in teaching Nicolas his Bible stories… well, Tricia noticed it and called me at work to let me know. So I came home to assess the situation. And I will let our gentle readers know that in the intervening time much progress has been made to alleviate the situation… but enough of defensive disclaimers, I must now recount the initial bit of my assessment.
Jay: Who made the ark?
Nicolas: God.
Jay: Well… (thinking: Hmmm… I’m a good Calvinist. There’s a profound truth in what he says. But I don’t think he has a clue.) No. God didn’t make the ark. He had Noah make the ark. With a hammer.
Jay: Who was Jesus’ mother?
Nicolas: God.
Jay: No, Nicolas, stop goofing off. Who was Jesus’ mother?
Nicolas: Goliath?

Whew! After reading your introductory paragragh too hurriedly, I thought for a moment that the dialogue was supposed to reflect the “much progress” you spoke of! Nicolas is a funny guy.

Love the “thinking” comment.
That Nicolas! He’s a cutie!
