While shopping with Heaven, my oldest granddaughter today, we were chatting. I asked her if she knew what "sin" was. She said, "Not really." I said "Have you heard about it at anytime that you remember?" She said, "Only in the song."
I said, "Really, which song is that?" She said "the song by Meredith Brooks, you know, 'I'm a sinner, I'm a saint.' "
I say 'Oh good example." She constantly amazes me. I didn't even know she knew that song. "Ok, then, what do you think they mean by "im a sinner, I'm a saint?" She says, "I think they mean a little good, a little bad."
"Yes, I said, "that's what I think. So what do you think the "sin thing" was that she did in the song?" She thought for a minute, ran the song over in her head, and finally said, "I don't think they say."
"Well what do you think the "sin" or "bad thing" could be?" I ask.
She says, "It would probably be, stealing, killing, stuff like that." I said, 'How do you know that those things are wrong?"
She answers, "Those things are against the law. I watch the news, I know you can be arrested for stuff like that. No one had to tell me."
Ahhhh.......no one had to tell her.
Happy Birthday Heaven...you are the most wonderful, brilliant, intellegent 10 year old I have ever met.
