Can We Talk About Jesus

Reader,

Have I already told you that my son throws in "can we talk about Jesus" during his bedtime routine? Yes it usually precedes "mommy can you snuggle with me" and comes after "mommy can I have some water".

And what am I supposed to say. I obviously can't say no. Can you see me at the pearly gates begging to be let it when some sort of godly fact checker shows up with a video of me on GodTube telling my three-year old "no I can't talk to you about Jesus" (because it will mean missing the first few minutes of Jersey Shore).

None shall pass.

So I say yes. Yes of course we can talk about Jesus.

And every time one of us asks the following questions and the other one gives the following answers. It is funnier when he asks the questions so here they are in my son's vernacular:

Mommy can we talk about Jesus
Yes, we can.
Now, what was Jesuses Mom?
Mary
Now, what was Jesuses Dad?
God
Now, what did he die?
He died on the cross.

So this morning at 4 am after more water and a trip to the bathroom I hear "mommy can you snuggle with me".

At this hour I will snuggle with anyone, just let me close my eyes.

I am snuggling when I hear.

"Mommy, Jesus has a special special special Mommy Mary. And Jesus has a special special Dad, God."

And I laugh and hug and hope that this makes it to GodTube.
