This conversation happened last night in the
car. My wife and I both work, and I mean we work HARD. (I count my writing as
work. Shut up. It SO is work!)
Anyway, we often have no energy to prepare
dinner, but we love sitting down to eat with the girls. So we go out to eat
probably twice a week. Last night we went to a little Chinese restaurant near
our home. We just “discovered” it and are still in the honeymoon phase, raving
about their Moo Goo Gai Pan and such.
For some reason Shelby was trying to remember
some character from the Bible. Jeanene was driving.
AND....ACTION!
Shelby – Hey, who's that person
in the Bible? Their name begins with like a G or something?
Me – God?
<Laughter all around>
Shelby – No, not GOD. Someone
else. A regular person.
Me – Goliath?
Shelby – No
<Silence all around>
Me – I can’t think of any other
Bible people whose names begin with G. <Looking at Jeanene> Can you?
Jeanene – No.
<Silence all around>
Reiley – Gimli?
<Silence. I turn around and look at her. OMG,
she was serious>
Reiley – Oh, sorry. What am I
saying? Gimli is from a different bible.
<I turn around again>
Me – A DIFFERENT bible?
Reiley – Well, The Lord of the
Rings is KIND of like a bible, if you think about it.
AND....CUT!
Hmm.
So there you have it, folks. The preacher’s
daughter and her OTHER bible. Nice.
