It's a Veggie Tales Praise cd, a gift to Natalie from the Pitts and Smiths.
It has so many songs that we sing at church and even some oldies from
Evie (you were into Christian music before it was popular if you remember her!), Amy Grant, and the late worship legend, Keith Green.
As soon as we walk out to the car, Natalie is yelling, "I wanna listen to worship Bob!"
I happen to love it too and we all sing along together.
Even Lainey chimes in at times..."ho-weeee" (holy).
The only problem is, as Natalie really learns these songs, her little brain gets going with so many questions. So of course, she turns to her all-knowing mommy. Ugh.
Today's question was "Mommy, what does 'holy' mean?"
My first reaction was, "awwww!!"
...then that quickly turned to "uh, uh, uh, well...AHHHHH!!!!"
How the heck do you answer that for a 3 year old???? I might could define it for an adult but no way to a preschooler.
I'm pretty sure my attempt at a definition just stupidly described it as....you know, holy...then I conceded that I just didn't know how to explain it. Der.
Yep, Kev and I sat at lunch looking up synonyms for 'holy' on his Blackberry.
On the way home from lunch as we listened to the cd, I tried to prepare for the next question.
I can sense the word 'glory' coming my way.
Things you never think about until you have a hungry little mind staring you down...

Can't you just SEE the wheels turning in this kid's head?? Grant's questions for me often fall under the 'science/prehistoric animals' category. "I'm sorry Grant, no hablo ingles."
