Two Doozies in One Minute

One day Wes was in our living room listening to Romans on cd.

(He is taking a class in which its required to read it several times.

He often reads it and listens to it on cd at the same time.)

The narrator read the passage in Romans 9 where it says:

"The older will serve the younger.

Just as it is written:

'For Jacob I loved and Esau I hated.'"

Wyatt, (who is nearby playing with play dough) stops suddenly and says:

"Did you hear that?

He said 'for Jacob I loved and Esau I hated?

Did God really say that?

Did he... hate Esau?"

I am changing Lalla's diaper at this moment and am about to begin this journey with him but then look at Wes and say,

"Wyatt, that's a great question for Daddy."

Wes, had already stopped the cd.

He was gathering his thoughts and just beginning to answer

when

Wyatt (noticing me changing Lalla's diaper) says:

"Daddy, when is Lalla going to get her p*nis?"

I look up at Wes.

He says to me, "which would you prefer me answer right now?"

I say, the second perhaps?

So Wes tells Wyatt to wait on the couch.

(while he's waiting on Wes I say to Wyatt,

"Daddy is going to cover your bible time and learning time right now")

He went upstairs to where a certain book has been waiting on top of our armoire for this specific moment.

The book is called "The Story of Me"

Its the first book in a series of 4.

The first book is recommended for ages 3-5.

I purchased it about a year and a half ago but Wyatt's questions for this particular subject just haven't warranted a real need for this type of explanation until today.

They had a very sweet time of questions and answers - and Wyatt had many questions - it took him a while to get there but by the time they finished he had a full understanding afterwards that his little sister would never in fact have a male part, and that is God's design.

Now we just need to answer his other question...
