One evening last week John and I were grandparent babysitters. Julia talked-and when it came time for the bedtime chat. . . "Gran, does God have a birthday?
"God has no beginning, no end, he's always been. . .so, sweet girl, God doesn't have a birthday!" (grandmother wisdom)
"I don't understand that," she said. (5 year old wisdom)
then-
"Gran, is Aunt Mercy a grown up?"
"hmmm-Sure, Aunt Mercy's a grown up!"
"No, I don't think so," she said. . ."Aunt Mercy is 1/2 grown up and 1/2 kid."
