Every night around 8:45, the end of Titus’ “preparing for bed” ritual includes a race to his bed. Whoever gets there first gets to read the Bible story.
Last night Titus won the race, so I flipped his Bible story book open and handed him the story of Jesus casting demons into the pigs. Titus talked a little about “Jesus” and “God” just because most Bible stories seem to include them, and then he started describing the pictures in his deliberate, sing-song-y reading voice. This was his story:
“And the pigs were angry. They were very angry. And they couldn’t find the barn! Where is the barn? They couldn’t find it. We’re looking for the barn! I don’t see the barn. I don’t want to go to the water, I want to go to the barn. And they couldn’t find the barn.”
I suppose we all would get a little grumpy if we couldn’t find our home!
That story made my day! I love his story about the angry pigs who couldn’t find their home.
