Yesterday's post can be summed up with this sentence: Once they find it, it's their favorite thing. We are of course talking about wee wees. I would use the proper medical term but I'm not mature enough to type it without giggling. Fortunately, Susan O. knows someone who isn't afraid to come out and say it. Here he is...
On another somewhat related topic my daughter (7) asked me this: "If you have a bathing suit with two pieces it can be immodest. But what if you forgot to put the top on? Would that just be a 50/50 sin, because, you know, you just forgot? Or is God gonna be mad?"
What do you think? Keeping theology and doctrine in mind please let me know how you would answer her question.

I guess I would say, "That's why God gave you me as your mother. I will help you to remember the top. And if I'm not around, and you truly, truly, truly forget, He wouldn't be mad."
I SO needed to laugh this morning...that was awesome.
Thanks!
"Let's just be double sure honey. You're wearing a one piece with a t-shirt until you're 40"
Okay, I've thought about this all day, and here's what I came up with:
"Sorry sweetie, God doesn't really care for halvsies. You're almost at risk for thinking about sinning according to Jesus. So, good luck."
"If it's not a tankini top, He was already mad anyway."
So glad you liked that as well. I love how his wee little face gets so serious when he talks about what REALLY happened.
I'd tell her that the best plan would be a swimsuit like this:

(Am I going to burn in hell, Stacy? Cause you know...it's just the funniest thing I've ever seen....)
Your daughter is adorable! You could always tell her that if that happens, she'll need to wear "wholesomewear" from now on...But I suppose you don't want to scare your child so much as reassure her that mistakes are okay but deliberate ones are, uh, not mistakes. (And this is why I'm not a parent)
And, really, thank you for what you wrote to me on SCL. That sense of love for the world and wanting to save it resonates with me so much more than the "bad, evil world, bad evil people" stuff. That stuff never strikes me as...I don't know, in the spirit of the Christianity.
