Baptism By Fire

As I am tucking Kallie in bed. I ask her if she is excited about her birthday tomorrow. She of course replies, "yes"

A few seconds later.

"Mom, I don't want to get baptized when I am 8." My reply of course is to try and change her mind. "Oh but Kallie it is awesome to get baptized. Your sins are washed away and you get to wear a white beautiful dress" (hoping that will change her mind)

Nope, her simple yet firm reply is, "No, mom! I don't want my skin washed away, that would hurt."

That's a weird baptism, maybe by fire your skin would fall off. That's a new thought to Baptism by fire. My silly cute almost birthday girl.

Yeah I wouldn't want my skin to get washed away either. That would be a frightening thought. The sweet innocence of kids.

I agree! That WOULD hurt to have your skin washed away! Hope she has a good birthday anyway.

That is too funny. Our little 5 year olds...oh wait Kallie is 6! Holy cow that is so wierd to say. Anyways our kids say the most random things. I love how they think up such deep thoughts :)
