During this Easter season, Warren has learned quite a bit about what Easter is all about. He's learned a bit more graphically than we probably would've liked, but nonetheless, I think he's starting to really "get it." Last night, as we finished reading his Bible story, went something like this:
Warren told me how the mean soldiers came and "smashed a crown of thorns on Jesus' head. And blood came dripping down his face. And then they nailed his hands and feet to the cross. And the three ladies that were there were so sad, they cried and cried." Then, he changed the story and it became a little more real. Well, for a little bit.
Warren: Mommy, what if the mean soldiers came and took Harper away?
Me: What do you mean?
Warren: What if they came and took Harper away like they took Jesus away? You and me and Daddy would be so sad. We would cwy and cwy and cwy.
Me: You're right, Warren. We would be very sad, wouldn't we?
Warren: But, you know what, Mommy?
Me: What, Warren?
Warren: If those mean soldiers came and took Harper, I could go get my Mickey Mouse sword. But, you need to put new batteries in it, because those batteries don't work. So, after you kiss me goodnight, and finish putting up the groceries, would you put new batteries in my Mickey Mouse sword?
Me: Sure!
Warren: Because if my Mickey Mouse sword has new batteries, then I could light it up and I could catch those mean soldiers in the night time so they couldn't get Harper. Because my sword can light up at night and the soldiers' swords can't!
Anyone have any C batteries?
