So I have to relate a hilarious conversation we had last night after dinner. A little background: The boys are really into Legos right now, especially the Lego Star Wars video game. (They've already beaten Lego Indiana Jones...) If you've never seen the Lego video games, anything that is hit or killed just breaks into little Lego pieces. If it's your character, you just reappear whole again shortly after being hit. Nice and kid-friendly.
Well, last night while I was doing the dishes and Andrew was (slowly) finishing his dinner, he said out of the blue, "Lego people are resurrected." It took a minute for that to register in my brain, and Victor and I chuckled - at least our talks about the real meaning of Easter were kind of sinking in! But trying to create a "teaching moment", we told him that real people will be resurrected, too, but it won't happen right away, like it does in a Lego game. It will take a long time until we are resurrected. Then Enoch, with his 5-year-old wisdom, said, "Yeah, it took Jesus 3 whole days!" Needless to say, we have a lot of teaching to go, but we had a good laugh about that one!
