Jamie goes to a Catholic school and last year he went to a Christian preschool. Basically, he has heard a lot about Jesus and God and how they love us and I'm sure he's had to sing many songs about how much he loves them. So imagine my surprise when this came out of his mouth:
Jamie: "I don't love God. I don't love Jesus."
Mama: "Huh??"
Jamie: "I don't love God and Jesus. God is big and scares me because he talks to me."
I don't think he is some special child and God literally talks to him. I think they must be learning about how God is always with them and talks to them through people, things, etc.
Mama: "Why don't you love them? It's good to love God and Jesus."
Jamie: "I just don't. And I don't wanna talk about this right now, we can talk about it tomorrow."
So then Maria heard this little exchange and could not believe what her Jesus-Loving ears were hearing.
Maria: "JAMIE!! You must love God! He is wonderful and gives us things like love and toys and bubble machines."
Mama (whispering): "No, Maria, that's Santa."
Maria: "Oh. Yeah. But, Jamie, God and Jesus are good and live in heaven."
Jamie: "Nope, Maria. They live in Hawaii."
