A Jami-ism

I love my son, at times like this more than any other. The logic of the five-year-old mind is a joy to watch.

Grandpa - "Pa" - came over, and Jami was giving him the tour of our Christmas decorations. Under our tree we have a train on a circular track - pictured there to the right - and inside the circle is our nativity scene. It's a Fisher Price "Little People" set. Jami pointed out the major players, landing finally on the plastic baby Jesus.

My father-in-law, never one to miss an opportunity, asked if Jami knew why Jesus was important, and went on to explain in gentle, general terms, that Jesus died so that we could go to Heaven even if we're bad.

Jami considered this, weighing it in his mind.

"Well," he concluded, "He's gonna hafta die again, because I was really bad today."

You should write that up and send it to reader's digest.
