Wow Update

IF you didn't read the previous story about Jesus and Joseph, this is a follow up story - so make sure you read that one first.

We thought after several attempts to correct Eva Grace's view of the story of Joseph that she would surely have it.

Me: Who did you learn about at Bible School?

EG: JEsus and Jochef

ME: What happened to Jochef... JOseph?

EG: His brothers put him in the well?

ME: Was it a "WELL" or a "WHALE?"

EG: A well.

ME: Good! Did Joseph get out of the well?

EG: No, the well shut his mouth and Jochef couldn't get out of the teeth!

ME: Eva Grace, a WELL DOESN'T HAVE TEETH! A WHALE HAS TEETH!

EG: UHH HUH, a Joseph was stuck in the well.

we are still working on this..... She does understand the difference between a well and a whale but still thinks Jochef was thrown into the whale because that is what her teacher said. (Jenny Box, sweet teacher, the next time you see my child will you PLEASE tell her differently. Apparently, my word is not good enough!)

Why is it that they always believe the teacher instead of the parent?

What difference does it make? It's a fairy tale anyway.

Maybe it was a whale...there are so many variations of the bible that it renders it a joke.
