CONFESSIONS OF A FACEBOOK FAILURE: Year 2

Day 23: I overheard my little monsters in make believe mode this morning. At first, I thought my eavesdrop was capturing the magic of the Nativity Scene.

I was wrong (ish).

Here is my sweet little angels interpretation of the reason for the season…

While the Eldest Monster tried desperately to growl and roar for the director’s role and pummel her cast into a literal interpretation, well…

Eldest Monster: “You are the shepherd and here is your staff and…”

Eldest Monster (grabbing the stick): “No, I am SUPER SHEPHERD and this is my sword. I’m going to fight you Angel!”

Middlest Monster: “And I am the wiseguy because I want the gifts.”

Eldest Monster: “No the WiseMEN GIVE gifts to JESUS!”

Middlest Monster: “Fine. Then I am Jesus.”

Eldest Monster: “Jesus is a BOY! Brother can be Jesus.”

Middlest Monster: No! He’s Joseph and he has a baby in his tummy!”

Littlest Monster: “No! I’m God!”

Eldest Monster: “Would you please stop fighting over who is God?”

Littlest Monster: “Oh yeah! I forgot. I am SUPER GOD. Give me my sword! I’m gonna go fight you Angel.”

This was our Not-ivity Scene. And boy, was it a scene.
