From this morning's catechism lesson with Rosie:
"Our Father, Who art in Heaven"
Me: What does that mean? It means that God is in Heaven. Heaven is where God is.
Rosie: Yeah but it's funny because it kind of sounds like he isn't there. Like "aren't".
Me: Oh! Um, yes, well, it's not "aren't", it's just "art". "Art" is an old fashioned, fancy way of saying "are."
Rosie: But "ain't" isn't fancy is it?
Me: no. no, "ain't" isn't fancy, it's improper.
moving on...
Me: What did I tell you "hallowed" meant?
Rosie: umm???
Me: Holy. It means holy.
Rosie: That's funny too, because it also sounds like an empty tree trunk, you know, hollow.
Me: Oh, yes. It sounds like that, but it's actually hallowed. Holy.
I am going to go get a pumpkin spice latte at McDonalds ASAP!!
