We had a highly enjoyable experience with our sunbeams today. We have three who are always in our class and then we have a regular visitor, who comes every third week or so. Today we didn't have the visitor but the other three were all there. Two of the three have no problem talking to us and telling us anything and everything that is on their minds, and the other usually won't even say a thing, including her name. Today was no different.
The lessons for sunbeams can be relatively advanced for children so young so the situations that are presented as a result can be pretty entertaining. Today with the Easter lesson we were discussing the life of Christ and how he died and was "rezrected." During this time we showed the picture of Christ on the cross with the other two men. Ashley, our oldest child, came up to analyze the picture. She asked what the long stick was with the point at the end (a spear), which person was Mary, which people were good and which people were bad. These were all easily answered. Then she asked "What is that on Jesus' chest?" Pointing to his nipple. Well, I wasn't quite comfortable explaining this to her and the other kids, but it took me a few seconds to compose myself enough to come up with a lie that sounded ok. I told her that sometimes painters put little dots on their paintings and that was all that was. She accepted that and moved on to the next question. "Is that their underwear?" Well, after we stopped laughing we told them, "Yes, it kind of is their underwear." Then we quickly put that picture away and grabbed a new one.

That is quick thinking. Wonder whhat her parents thought when she told them about painters and their work with dots.
