Little Prince's Quirky Beliefs!!

The other day Little Prince wanted Little Miss Sensible to tell him the Christmas story at bedtime. She tried to, with LOTS of interruptions from Little Prince!!

To start off she tried to establish the basics - "Do you know who God is?" "No", "Do you know who Jesus is?" "No". Not a good start. So she tried to explain God...
"Well, He's a very magic person that you can't see and He made everything"
"Did He make me?"
"Yes"
"What about Blankie?"
"Yes"
They then argued for a while over who actually made Blankie (God or Foster Mum!) and settled on God helped!! She tried again...
"Right, so God is really magic..."
"Father Christmas is more magic than God"
...huh...?
"He has reindeers and Rudolphs" (plural!) "so he's more magic"
UPDATE: Little Prince announced this morning (17th Dec) that Mickey was more magic than ANYONE!!!

This left Little Miss Sensible totally speechless for a while but she decided to move swiftly on to the rest of the story! It turned out that Little Prince knew the story much better than she did, as he repeatedly interrupted to correct her or give dialogue. It's been a long time since she did a Nativity, but only a few days since Little Prince did one, so he did have a slight advantage!

They got as far as "They went to Bethlehem" when he started on -
"Where's Bethlehem?"
"Um...that's a good question! Let's ask Dad." So they went and bellowed from the top of the stairs...
"DAD, WHERE'S BETHLEHEM?"
"I don't know?! Israel!"
"DAD, WHERE'S ISRAEL?"
"Um...The Middle East"
"DAD, WHERE'S THE MIDDLE EAST?"
"...a long way away...!"
Which luckily finally satisfied Little Prince!! And they did eventually get to the end of the story. LMS came down stairs complaining that her ears were ringing and that her little brother talked a LOT!!

And while we are on the subject of Little Prince's quirky beliefs - he saw a crescent moon the other night and we asked him what the special name for that shape moon was. His triumphant answer "A mosque" Oh well back to the drawing board on religious education I think :-)
