I am not making this up:
Yesterday afternoon, Sophia and I snuggled on the living room couch so I could read to her. She wanted “Sleeping Beauty.” Okay, okay. In Disney’s version, there are three good fairies at the baby’s christeninig who give the new baby gifts like “Beauty” and “Song.”
I turned to Sophia and said, “What did the fairies bring you when you were born?”
She smiled and said, “We don’t have fairies in our world.”
I swear to you she said this.
I also swear to you that, while we’re planning on bringing the kids up without religion, we haven’t exactly been harping on it yet. After all, Sophia’s three. The whole sky-elf discussion can wait a little bit.
Or maybe we can skip that whole thing. She seems to be a little ahead of the curve.
I told Darin about what she said and he said, “Yes.” Daddy’s little rationalist.
