Child-K9 Theology
Tonight, my daughter asked me to tell her a story. When I asked about a topic, the old standby came up. "Tell me a story about me being a princess."
I told her to be a true princess you must be the daughter of a king. When I asked if she knew a true king, she answered, "Jesus is a King."
I then explained that as a daughter of Jesus, she can be a princess.
As my son looks around, wondering why he hasn't been included in the conversation, I jokingly say, "So can Zeke be God's princess too?"
Rachel immediately answers, "No, he'd be a prince."
My son spins around quickly in his chair and declares, "No, I'm God's doggie!"
I didn't have the heart to tell him otherwise.

I wish my youngest would want to be a doggie...instead he wants to be a girl. He has even prayed to Jesus to make him a girl when he grows up. I couldn't quite go into the details of Leviticus 18 and Romans 1 to a 2 1/2 year old, so I just internalized the anger and went on with my day...

Dude, in early 21st-century jargon, the word "doggie" or "dog" was frequently used to denote one's "friend" or "companion." Zeke seems to already speak the language of today.
