Quotable EJ: Church Reform for Preschoolers

With Easter this weekend, our conversation this evening (while making a bunny cake, pictures to follow) was all about church. Would we go to church even if we weren't in Hyde Park? How would that work, exactly? She loves God, loves to pray, etc., but the "sitting in church" part of worship isn't her fave. In fact, EJ wants none of it, here or there, and here is her exact quote---a whole paragraph about what she thinks is wrong about church.

"Mom, I don't like church. It is so crazy and so loud. Everyone is talking, and then I want to ask questions, but when I say 'Excuse me' no one even listens to me. And Mom, that is SO RUDE, because I say excuse me, and I really need to know what is going on, and my brain wants to know the answers to my questions and my brain is really saying 'please tell me' and then I just have to listen to adults and they won't listen to me being polite. That is not good manners. I think other kids like church, and I am the only one who maybe doesn't like it, but it is just too crazy for my brain."

Enough said.

Hey, Easter Bunny! We have a cute date for you!



This cake is guaranteed not to make your brain too crazy.
