Last night as I was putting Scout to bed, she requested I stay longer and read more books. Well, I always come up with some reason to leave, like "I have to go to the bathroom." or "I have to check on the heater." or "I have to put my pj's on." But, last night I used the excuse that my throat didn't feel good and I needed to get some rest. (It is sore and really raspy!)
Scout was concerned about my throat. So, I told her we could pray and ask Jesus to make my throat feel better and help us all get rest, etc.
After our little prayer, Scout informed me that "Jesus has wings and he comes down from Heaven to take care of us." She said, "He's a fairy. He has wings, a wand and He's a fairy."
I didn't correct her. I figured that she sort of was equating Jesus's love to that of the fairy godmothers in Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. It was late and she was getting punchy, so I let her roll with it.
