I never thought I’d be old enough to say this, but: Kids say the darnedest things. There, I said it. I’m officially a geezer. It’s even better when kids say things that make it impossible to reply without feeling incredibly awkward.
From work:
S.:(looking at a colouring book about Jesus) Look, Jesus is magic!
Me: I…uh…Is that right? I…didn’t know that.
S.: He is magic! He told the dead girl to wake up and she went back to life!
Me: Um… That’s a little bit different than magic.
S.: But he is! I had 11 jacks before in my cup, and when I checked before, I only have 10!
Me: …Are you sure you didn’t lose them? I don’t think Jesus would take your jacks
S.: THE DEVIL TOOK THEM!
Me: I… don’t think he’d need them either.
J.: I DON’T BELIEVE IN THE DEVIL.
E.: (from out of nowhere) JESUS LIVES IN THE SKY
I had a nervous giggle-fit by the end of this. And it gets better! I checked boingboing(or was that gothamist?) when I came home and found this talking Jesus figure. I actually kind of want one for the novelty of it. “LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS ONE TIME I WAS JUST SITTING THERE ON THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN!”
P.S:
My Metal Gear Solid PS3 Bundle is coming in a matter of hours! I AM ATWITTER WITH GLEE.
