thanks for this website, as a homeschooler i fight with the visrionforum-hyperpatriarchy mindset every day, and i also unfortunately get to see the fruit that mindset bares. your site is going to be a useful tool to help me think through my positions and to help me keep my own children free from this oppression.

Interesting how children see things so differently than we do!

We were singing a chorus in church, when suddenly my 4 year old daughters face became very serious and sad. I asked her what was wrong … and choking back tears she said “i feel so sorry for God”.

What, why honey!?!

Because he is SO TIRED! As she continued to worship, I heard her sing “you are exhausted, you are exhausted, you are exhausted on high …”.

Children are so precious and innocent. I loved these stories. Thank you for sharing them.
This reminds me of when my youngest son was 5 years old. We had told him that we were going to travel to Calgary for a few days. All of a sudden he got very excited and said: “Mom, can we please see where Jesus was crucified?” I didn’t realize until then that he thought that Jesus had been crucified in Calgary
Good memories…
Blessings to you all.

Lin,

That was a great example of cute kiddie gender quote!

Thanks Lin and Jael! We do think Isaac is very precious.

Did you all know Amazing Grace was gender specific? I have a collection of my mom’s old hymn books and my 7 year old daughter and I love to sing from them. One night she was singing Amazing Grace alone in the other room and was doing pretty good sounding out all the words. But when it came to ‘wretch’ like me…she sang, ‘witch’ like me.

BTW: Issac is precious.

A friends son was going on his first airplane trip and his Dad was trying to prepare him by saying they would be up high in the sky. This 4 year old said his prayers every night. His son said, “While we’re flying to Vancouver can we stop off at heaven for awhile? ” That’s the best I”ve heard in awhile.

Maybe you’re on to something, Cheryl. Yeah, that must be it… boys cry louder. But– shouldn’t only girls cry, and boys just pout and take it like a man? I can just hear the doctor’s rebuke of a crying baby boy: “So you just got rammed through a tube the diameter of a straw. Kwit cher belly achin’, ya sissy! I’ll give you a reason to cry!!”

When I was pregnant the other ladies told me I must be carrying a girl because I wasn’t suffering all the usual things, but it was a boy. Go figure.

Paula,

Good one about babies and roles. Or, wait, doesn’t it say somewhere in the Christian Talmud that the baby boys’ role is to cry louder and longer??

Very cute, Don.

Here’s another one, this time about God. My grandson asks his mom if God lives in the sky. She answers him about where heaven is. He says “But mom does God live in the sky?” His mom gives him more details about how far away heaven is, etc but this doesn’t satisfy Isaac. Persistently, he asks “BUT MOM, does God live in the SKY?” Seeing that her answers about heaven aren’t satisfying him, she says, yes God lives in the sky. Isaac answers, “I thought so, I think I can see his feet”, as he points to a large cloud.
