Kyle: Ben, will Jesus die?
Ben: [pause] I don't know if Jesus will die. Mom, will Jesus die?
Me: Well, Jesus already died, remember? He died on a cross. But, He will never ever die again.
[pause, while they think this over]
Kyle: Mom, when did Jesus die on a cross?
Me: A long, long time ago. Before there were cars, or light switches, or dishwashers...
Ben: ...before there were even restaurants?
Kyle: Mom, did Jesus cry when there were no restaurants?
Me: Ah.....no, I doubt He ever cried about restaurants.
Ben: But when did Jesus die?
Me: A long time ago...about 2000 years ago!
Ben: Two thousand years ago! Kyle, Jesus died a long time ago...like before we were even born. [with great surprise] Maybe even...twenty years ago!

That's really funny! I love getting a peek inside the workings of a child's mind.
Those boys are so entertaining. We love to read those overheard things the boys say. They're so cute!
I can just hear those boys. I can see Ben's wide eyed expresion on his face.
