Adoption, Babies, Logic & 3 Year Old's!





A few days ago a friend emailed us her conversation she had with her 3 year old.







Context

* Ezra & Ben are 3 years old and are in Sunday School together
* Ben's mommy is pregnant

--------------------------------------------

Subject: Ezra


Hi Heidi,
I wanted to share with you a fun conversation I had with Ben this morning. As we were cuddling on the couch and reading some books this morning, he pet my tummy and asked, "Momma, do you think the baby in your tummy is black?" I said, "no honey, the baby in my tummy is white like you and Jack are white." He thought for a couple of minutes and then said, 'well, momma, Jesus makes all kinds of babies..." I explained to him that because his mommy and daddy are white the baby will be white. Again, he thought for a minute and then he said, "well momma, my best friend Ezra is black and his momma and daddy are white...so I am thinking that maybe God will give us a black baby too!" Wow, I was out logic'ed by a 3 year old! I thought you would enjoy that! Katie

Isn't it amazing how perceptive 3 year olds can be!
