From the mouths of babes

The few weeks before Christmas generate more dinners with good friends than any of the prior months.

On Friday evening, my wife and I dined with two other couples for our annual holiday dinner. We had a wonderful time. I asked our friend Carol if her 6-year-old daughter, Fiona, has generated any hysterical one-liners, which she regularly does.

Carol shared this story:

So Fiona and I are walking on the street in our neighborhood when a car comes flying around the corner.

In a panic, I grab Fiona's hand and pull her back and away from the oncoming car and blurt out, "Jesus!"

"MOM!" Fiona immediately responds.

I brace for the inevitable child-correcting-the-parent moment when Fiona says, "How did you know it was Him?"
