Though it’s raining now, yesterday was SUNNY! We had a party with friends.
I went to bed late, late, late. Couldn’t sleep.
I woke up late too with The Pixie bouncing her yellow balloon off my face.
The remains of last nights Social stared at me from the kitchen floor, the dining room, the bedrooms, the stairs, the rain-soaked patio table.
I set to clean. The floor I would leave to Mr. Right, but at least I could pick up the rooms.
Eventually The Pixie found me cleaning the kitchen. She picked up a bowl of cake which she had not finished at breakfast. She asked, “Why did you give us cake for breakfast?”
Because I woke up ten minutes before The Pirate was supposed to be in school.
“So you are a nice mom?”
It was an accident on my part.
“OK. Hey Mom, how did Heavenly Father and Jesus make our spirit bodies?”
Jesus didn’t. I began wiping the counter. Only Heavenly Father and Mother made our spirit bodies. They thought, “We want children.” So first they made Jesus and then they made all the other spirits.
I stacked unused paper plates. They made me and you and who else did they make?
“Our family, and our cousins and our friends and the other people we do not know.”
Yes.
“Then Jesus helped make our bodies?”
No. I said as I put banana muffins in a basket for later. Then Heavenly Father and Mother thought, “How will our children get bodies? They will have to go to a earth. We will let Jesus help make the earth.”
“Then Jesus was born?”
No, then Adam and Eve were born with their earth bodies. Later Jesus was born with his earth body. Who was Jesus’ earth mom and dad?
“Mary and Joseph. But Mom, what was our Heavenly Mom’s name?”
"We do not know.
“Why? Is it because it was so special so Heavenly Father did not tell us it?”
I stared at her.
I know smart, grown wisdom who won’t realize that truth.
Yeeess clever girl.
