Well, one of my four year olds, had a pretty good answer to the question. Somehow while eating Ritz crackers, oranges, and carrots, a few of my kids were talking about how they/people were made. I'm not entirely sure how it started, but I know that at the end, the little Chinese girl said, "God made us out of mud and then he blew in our nose." Ohhh, I laughed! But, I took awhile to think about it and although we are no longer made out of "mud", God did "make man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being," Genesis 2:7. The other kids thought it weird that we were possibly made out of mud, but I tried to clear up, in basic terms, that we are now made differently.
This also came from the same girl who will randomly start belting out Amazing Grace in a high pitched song. I remember one of the first times she did it was when Nona was sick and how it is Nona's favorite song, it was very special to me. This little girl makes me smile quite often throughout the day for various reasons and it's wonderful! Oh, I love what little ones say!
