A little background: Ellie is really into Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty and watches these movies often. Her conversations (this one included) usually end up with a mixture of all 3 stories.
This afternoon while eating her yogurt at the table:
Ellie: "Mom, the bad guy comes up and gets in the door, and she locks it."
Me: feigning surprise and great interest, "OH NO!" "REALLY!"
Ellie: "Yes! And the bad guy has a sword (sounds like the word 'so' with a 'd' on the end) and he fights the dragon. Seriously Mom!" (yes, she actually said the word 'seriously'...and has a look of total sincerity and seriousness on her face)
Me: "Oh my goodness!"
Ellie: "Jesus doesn't like it when he (the bad guy, I'm guessing) kills in the face."
Me: "Probably not. Does the bad guy kill in the face?" trying to get some clarity on the story now.
Ellie: "Yes he does. He kills in the face. Jesus says that's not nice."
Me: "You're right. We need to be nice."
Ellie: "Yes, Jesus wants us to be nice."
So there you have it guys. Jesus says be nice! And no killing in the face.
Oh I love these little gems Ellie puts out! What a smart little girl and creative at that! You could right a book on her deep thoughts I'm sure. :) Goodness I love her.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the a Gospel Doctrine Teacher in training! Love it!
ReplyDeleteKilling in the face IS pretty serious. I love it and her large vocabulary she has. Seriously. ;)
