I was so embarrassed... - religion mentioned

Nina J wrote: I was explaining Easter to Emily the other day, and we were talking about Easter Sunday. I didn't know what to call Jesus' grave, so I just said grave cave. It didn't even seem funny then. We were at a friends for a party, who are really religious, and one of the adults asked Emily if she knew why we celebrate Easter. So she said "Because it's when Jesus came out of his grave cave" Half the people cracked up laughing, and half seemed really shocked and offended (No offence to anyone here, )

i think the rhymn helped her remember it too.
I would be proud that my little girl knew the real meaning of easter when so many adults do not.

kimberley replied: that's funny. i agree with the above... i'd be proud she knew the true meaning

luvmykids replied: I think a tomb looks like a cave At least she's got the idea down, kids are so great!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: OMG I spit out my coffee at that one!!

We call it "grotte" in french. Like a grotto.

msoulz replied:
No doubt about that! Those who were offended need to go back to church and really listen next time!!

MommyToAshley replied:
I agree. Besides, I think it is really cute. In fact, I would write it down in a journal or somethign for when she gets older and you can look back and laugh.

Anyone who would become offended at that needs a serious life overhaul. There isn't an easier way to explain the idea of a tomb to a little kid than to describe it as a small cave, so I see nothing whatsoever wrong with that. God bless her!

C&K*s Mommie replied: agreed with Ed!
I agree with Dee Dee (Mommy to Ashley) you should mark it down for later reference severak years from now, and you can still get a good laugh out of it.

Calimama replied: Aww that's cute. Did those people who got offended, NOT have kids?

CantWait replied: That was so sweet, and no matter how you explained it, she obviously learned from it. Whomever gets offended from that needs serious help.

Boo&BugsMom replied:
My thoughts exactly! I think it's funny. We just call it a tomb.

A&A'smommy replied: LOL too cute!!!! we call it a tomb also
