These things that Olivia comes up with! I really had no idea what to say to this one, so I just answered it as best as I could and hoped that I wasn’t confusing. I ended up being funny, apparently. Olivia was cracking up.
So what was my answer?
“We are. All the People of God are His wife. Me, you, Elise, Daddy…”
Liv laughed, “Daddy is a girl?!”
I then said, giggling and afraid that I’ve reached the point of confusing, “Well, with God and people He is the boy and we are all girls.”
It was hilarious, I tell you, for Olivia to imagine that Daddy is a girl. I have absolutely no idea if that was a good answer or not. Remind me again why I am in the business of Catechizing this little spit-fire?
