One Saturday evening, Mitch and I were sitting at the kitchen table and I reminded him that he needed to go and take a shower because the next day was Sunday and we were going to church. He looked at me like I was telling him I was going to pull a tooth out of his mouth.
Anyway, he proceeds to ask me, "Mom, why do we have to go to church??" and I respond, "because Mitch, we go there to learn about Jesus."
So then after a second passes Mitch goes, "If I go to church and learn everything about Jesus, can I stop going?? Why do I need to learn about him anyway??"
Trying not to smile, I said, "Well you know, I am 32 and I still don't know everything about Jesus, and you do need to learn about him."
Mitch then replied, "I don't need to know about Jesus."
"Well then Mitch, let me tell you a story about another little boy who said something similar. Once upon a time, there was a little boy named...............Lucifer,"
I laughed about that for the rest of the night.
