Tonight we were watching the first half of Ben-Hur... that extremely long movie with Charlton Heston....
The beginning of the movie features Mary and Joseph and Baby Jesus in the stable and the 3 wise men and shepherds. Then, the next scene it has Roman Numerals that say XXVI years later.
The girls have studied Roman Numerals and know that XXVI means 26.
So Anna says, "It can't be 26 years later because nobody saw Jesus from the time he was 12 until he was 30!"
Soooo.... I ask, "Why do you think that?"
And I hear the shocking words: "Mama, you said so. You SAID, when Jesus stayed at the temple when he was 12 and his parents found him, his mama grounded him until he was 30 and that is why he didn't start his ministry until then!"
Yikes.....
Now why can't I get her to memorize her times tables as well as she remembers off hand comments I make???? :)
