Ben & I were in the car last night, on our way to choir practice. (Are you noticing a trend? Ben seems to do some of his best thinking in the car.) The kids have begun rehearsing for their Christmas pageant, so we were talking about Christmas carols, going through which ones we knew, which ones we remember singing from last year, which ones are our favorites. The conversation winds down and Ben is quiet for a couple of minutes. Then, from the dark of the back seat I hear,
"Mommy, I think that angel was really bossy." Kindergarteners, it turns out, spend a great deal of time worrying about bossiness. This concept of who is bossy and who is not has been a topic of many discussions recently.
"What angel, sweetie?" I reply.
"You know, the angel who went to Mary. That angel was really bossy. He told Mary that she had to name her baby Jesus. But I think a mommy should name her baby the name SHE wants to name it."
