Dead and Resurrected
My grandmother, Mary Anna Bella Minne Hanton Tobias, was a wise acre. My son, Noah, 5 years old, is turning out to be cut from the same cloth.
In church, a woman was singing about the death and resurrection. “I’m glad Jesus died for my sins,” she sang. Noah looked at my wife and said, shocked, “Jesus is dead?“ As if to say, ‘”You got me in here to praise Jesus and he’s dead?”
My wife says to him, “Don’t play with me. You know that Jesus died for our sins.”
Noah says (quite loudly), “I’m so bored I wish I was dead and resurrected.”
Of course, our fellow worshippers helped reinforce his behavior by all laughing loudly.
Noah may not be dead and resurrected, but I have to consider the possibility that he is the reincarnation of his great grandmother.
