The joy of blasphemy

Tonight as we were putting Reilly to bed, Shawn and I sat on the floor and watched Reilly as she experienced her first snow globe. The globe is mossy green at the base, and within the glass globe are an angel, Mary, and baby Jesus. There is enough snowy glitter to keep a 2.5 year old fascinated for hours, which was a problem when after five minutes we told Reilly that it was time to go to bed.

Reilly said “no” so I turned off the light to force the issue.

Reilly: “Noooooooooooooo! I want to see baby Jesus!”
Shawn: “Okay Reilly, I’ll turn the light on so that you can say goodnight to him.”
Reilly: “No, it’s not a him Mommy, Baby Jesus is a her.”
