Henry: Whose birthday is it?
Me: (getting into car with cake for Christmas potluck) Well, actually, it's Jesus' birthday. Won't it be fun to celebrate when Jesus was born with our friends?
Henry: Yeah.
***A few moments of silence***
Henry: But, where is Jesus?
Jim: Jesus is everywhere! And He's in our hearts.
Me: Yeah! Jesus is always with us and he watches over us and protects us. Isn't that great?
Henry: But Mommy, where's your heart?
Me: (hand on chest) Right here baby.
Henry: (with a look of skepticism) No, mommy. Your heart is on your back!
Me: (realizing he is talking about my teeny tiny super cute heart tattoo ON MY BACK) Oh. Yeah. Well, that's not my real heart.
Jim: (Very snarky-like) Mmhmm. Someone just drew that heart on mommy.
Me: (ahem) My real heart is right here and yours is, too.
***A few more moments of silence***
Henry: But, no. Jesus lives in a castle!
Me: (looking at Jim, both of us full of joy in our little boy) Why yes, Henry. Yes he does. :)
