the theology of Santa

While the girls were emptying the dishwasher this morning, 
they were having a discussion about Santa:

Me: What good little girls I have today.
K: Santa is coming tonight!
Me: Is that why you're doing your chores?
K: No. We just wanted to obey.
Me: (thinking) Yeah, right!

K: Santa knows everything.
H: No... GOD knows everything, not Santa. 
And then He tells Santa what people are thinking.

Interesting chain of command...

Sounds a lot like a conversation in our van on Christmas Eve. My girls had a hot debate about who was more powerful, more important, and just MORE. They sorted it out in the right order without intervention, thank goodness.

I love the ways kid's minds work!!
