Was Jacob a bad guy?
Two days ago we were driving home from running errands and we had a CD of children's music, that was given to us at church, playing in the van. We were listening to a song about prophets and one of the verses said, "Abraham the prophet prayed to have a son, So the Lord sent Isaac as the chosen one. Isaac begat Jacob, known as Israel; Jacob's sons were twelve tribes, so the Bible tells." After hearing that verse Owen asked, "Mom, was Jacob a bad guy?" I said, "No, he was a good guy. Why do you ask?" He said, "Well then why did Isaac beat up Jacob?" I thought that was so FUNNY!!!! I wondered how many times he had wondered what Jacob had done to get beat up!

I love it. They can come up with the most interesting interpretations. That's like when Hunter said when you turn 8 you become "a cannibal" (accountable). I love that story...
You really need to write a book with all of the funny things your kids say! I would totally buy it.
That's too funny. These are the things you don't want to forget!
I'll bet you laughed all the way home! So innocent. I wonder what the world really looks like through their eyes...misunderstood lyrics and all. :)
