Does God like cookies???????





The other night we were playing bible trivia with Eve and Jack. Instead of playing the actual game part of it they decided to have me just read the questions and they would shout out the answer as quick as possible. I think they were testing their super hero speed or something......... So this is how it went.................................




ME: "On which day of creation did God rest?"


KIDS: "THE SEVEEEEEEENTH!!!"


ME: "Where did God want Jonah to preach?"


KIDS: "NINEVEHHHHHHH!!!"


ME: "What did God put in the sky as a promise to Noah?"


KIDS: "A RAINBOWWWWWW!!!"


ME: "The land of Canaan was flowing with milk and............................................."


KIDS: "COOKIEEEEEEES!!!"




They were on such a roll that they didn't even realize what they'd said until Daddy and I burst out laughing. Jack was the first one to giggle and then say the right answer. Then Eve giggled and said, "Oh yeah, Canaan was flowing with milk and honey. But if I were God I would like to have cookies because they go better with milk..........I think God probably likes cookies. Especially Oreo's because they taste the best with milk!"




Eve is my abstract random child (The Way They Learn by Cynthia Tobias) and it shines through. She has a way of making mundane things seem exciting. Who knows, maybe God does like cookies!
