During our vacation, Laurel and I had some good conversations. Here is a snippet.
Laurel: Mommy poop?
Me: Yes, mommy poops.
Laurel: Daddy poop?
Me: Yes, daddy poops.
Laurel: Jesus poop?
Me: Yes, Jesus pooped.*
Laurel: The Bible poop?
Me: No, the Bible doesn't poop.
Laurel: Why?
*I think Laurel was really starting to understand the full humanity of Jesus (fully human, fully God). Notice that I answered in the past tense. I didn't think she was quite ready to grapple with the questions of a resurrected body (questions like: Does Jesus still poop? When we experience the new heaven and the new earth, will we poop? Is poop a result of the fall or part of creation before the fall?). We'll save those conversations until she's at least three.
