My older two had chapel today where Father read them the nativity story. They recounted it for me on the way home:
Girlie: Mary and Joseph were married and going to have a baby named Jesus. They decided to go on a vacation, but the hotels were all full because of the convention.
Boyo: So they had to sleep in a barn. And it smelled like poop! Isn't that silly?
Girlie: I'M TELLING THIS STORY! So Baby Jesus came and He was God. And the angels came and told the sheep that the baby was here.
Boyo: IT'S MY TURN TO TALK! And there was a star. And the smart men came from the star.
Girlie: Like aliens.
Boyo: BE QUIET! I'M TELLING IT! Um... I don't know.
Girlie: So they brought presents...
Boyo: But Baby Jesus didn't get a train. Or a Darth Maul lightsaber.
Girlie: No, he got lotions. Like for his butt rash.
Boyo: And the angels came back to the smart men. And told them to go to tell a lie. Lying is bad, right Mommy?
Girlie: No, no, no. They HAD to lie. So Baby Jesus wouldn't get hurt. Mary and Joseph and Baby Jesus went to 'Gypt. I think to build a pyramid.
Boyo: And that is why Santa Claus comes!
