Going into the Wilderness

This conversation happened in the van today...

Hannah: Mommy, why doesn't x listen to his mommy sometimes? (No idea where this came from. We weren't with any kids today.)
Mommy: Well, Hannah, are there times when you don't listen to your mommy? Are there times when mommies don't listen too?
Hannah: Yes
Mommy: Well, when we don't do something we are suppose to, God calls that sin. We need to ask God's help to do better next time.
Hannah: Sometimes, do we have to go into the wilderness?
Mommy: What do you mean? Like the people in the Bible?
Hannah: Yes
Mommy: Well, I guess the people in the Bible did have to go into the wilderness because they didn't listen to God.

Whoa! I'm going to have to work hard to keep ahead of this little girl!

Tee hee. Don't you love the way their minds work?
(In between the moments where you are scratching your head, wondering if the synapses in your brain are misfiring due to question overload, and feeling DEFINATELY NOT smarter than a 5th grader!
