Sophia has been cast as a "Gospel Angel" in her school's nativity play, they are the school with the role for every child deal - with only 44 children, who can really blame them? Sophia told me tonight that when she gets to school tomorrow, she is going to tell her teacher that she wants to be Mary.....good luck with that! I told her that she's an Angel and they can fly, Mary just stands there holding "the baby" - figuring that would win Sophia over... nope she WANTS to hold the baby... it's "Baby Jesus Mummy"
They've been practising parts on and off for weeks, tomorrow is the rehearsal, Wednesday the timed dress rehearsal and Thursday is the real deal... I mean they're 3-6 year olds, they could NOT rehearse and it would still be just as amusing/cute/hilarious/insert your own adjective here! Sophia got to try on her costume today while practising her part.. I asked her if she sang along with the songs "No I just stood there and picked my nose" OH JOY.. at least she's honest.. her teacher reassured me that some helpful soul will catch that part on film on Thursday, and I can forever hold it over Sophia's head!
So all this nativity business led to the talk about Jesus..
Sophia - "How old is Jesus"
Me - "Well he's not alive in this world any more.. he was born, died for our sins on the cross, was resurrected and is now in Heaven"
Sophia - "But how old is he?"
Me - "2012"
Sophia - "What's his number?"
Me - "2012"
Sophia - "No his NUMBER"
Me - "His letter? J, J for Jesus J J J"
Sophia - "How old is Mary?"
Me - "Mary lived a long time ago, she's dead now"
Sophia - "Oh NO, Joseph is going to be SO sad"
She has a fair point there....!
