Ethan enjoys church. Once he got over his fear of being left in a classroom with other kids instead of Mom or Dad (gasp!) he found his love of making crafts and playing with the kids.
We have about a half hour drive back home from church each week and we like to ask the kids what their lessons were about while we drive. Often we get the standard "I don't know" or "I can't remember", but sometimes we get some real information. And from Ethan, we've come to expect some "interesting" versions of classic Bible stories. Case in point, today's telling of the parable of the prodigal son, as told to us by Ethan, age 3.5 years:
Us: So what did you learn about in your class today?
Ethan: We learned about when God's father gave him some money.
Us: Umm...ok....
Ethan: And then he "loosed" it all and got really hungry and had to eat the pigs trash.
Us: (Laughing) Ah...and then what happened?
Ethan: And then he threw a big party and got some new clothes.
There you have it folks....the story of the prodigal son, according to Ethan. (For the real story, check out Luke 15: 11-32.)
