update as to why i babysit at slip aunt's

last night i had a really easy group: my 13 year old cousin (who amused herself), baby zoe (6 months - who is a very good baby usually, but was having a kind of tough night, but not tough enough to drive a person insane), 10 month old baby girl (who is such a good baby - if i ever get stuck having one, i hope he's like her; good and quiet and calm), and that baby's 7 year old brother jamar (who is a very good kid).
anyway, so jamar and i were sitting there playing play-do (which was very fun - i never get to do things like that at slip aunt's cuz it's always too hectic to actually do anything with the kids), when he said something about Christmas.

jamar: ...at Christmas, that's when JESUS was born.
me: yep.
jamar: and then at Easter, that's when JESUS was bo...no, that's when JESUS was...uh...
me: well, Good Friday is when JESUS died, and then Eas-
jamar [interrupting me all excited-like]: that was when HE was alive again! and then HE went to Heaven. and that's why we can be alive, because JESUS went to Heaven cuz HE died and was alive again and so we can go to Heaven!
