The girls (4 & 6) were running into our room saying there was a dog under their beds. Sharon calmly tells them that it has to be a stuffed animal. Then she thinks to add, "if it is a spirit dog then ask Jesus to get rid of it for you." We have been teaching our kids to call on Jesus when they have bad dreams. So then we over hear the oldest leading the youngest in a prayer for the spirit dog to go away in Jesus name. Yeah it was cute. But then a few seconds later they are jumping around yelling, that the dog is gone forever! "We did it!" reminds me of the Dora the Explorer victory song, which I promptly make up a version about kicking out spirit dogs to get Sharon laughing. We are folding clothes when the "we did it"s ended, a pause and then Elyssa tells her little sister, "Chelsea, now that we did it, let's go get our reward from Jesus."
I guess I need to work on the theology, but that was a heck of a lot funnier than my lame Dora song.
