Ethan:Poor daddy has a sunburn. He's so cute.
Me: You are such a sweet, loving boy.
Ethan: I love everybody. But not bad people.
Me: Jesus wants us to love bad people, too.
Ethan: LOVE bad people?!
Me: That's right. Jesus loves bad people.
Ethan: Did he even love those bad people who put him on the cross and made him die?
Me: He did. Because really all of us are bad, and that's the reason Jesus died on the cross. Because he wanted us to be able to go to heaven if we trust in him.
Ethan: Daddy, did you trust in Jesus?
*Daddy nods and smiles. He's leaving this one to me.*
Ethan: Was it sad when he died on the cross?
Me: Yes. Very sad. His mommy was there when he died. Don't you think she was sad, too?
Ethan: Yeah. Is Mary his mommy?
Me: Yep.
Ethan: Mommy, look how fast I can get out of this bed. But not as fast as Jesus. He can do it faster than anyone.
Me: Oh, really?
Ethan: Yeah, and Mary can fly. She's a fairy.
