Stimulating Conversation

Tonight’s dinner conversation started when Grace asked Daddy about a passage in Deuteronomy that she didn’t understand. Lydia interrupted this conversation when she asked, “Daddy, how does someone rob a bank?”

“They come into the bank and say, ‘Give me all your money!’” he said.
“Then they have to go to jail?” she asked.
“Yes, they have to go to jail,” Daddy said.
“Do they feed them there?” Lydia asked.
“Yes, they feed them there,” Daddy said.

Then Joel piped in and squealed “Me! Me! Me!” (meaning, “I want to go to jail!”)
Lydia said, “You can’t go to jail, Joel. You didn’t rob a bank.”
