(dis)obedience

Andy (3) and I were listening to a Colin Buchanan CD in the car the other day when the word "sin" came up in one of the songs.

I asked Andy, "Do you know what sin is?"

"No."

"Sin means disobeying God. Do you know what disobeying God means?"

"No."

"It's like disobeying Mummy and Daddy. Like when we ask you to do something, and you don't do it. God wants you to obey Mummy and Daddy, and when you disobey us, you're disobeying God."

There was silence for a while as Andy pondered this new information. Then, when he got out of the car, he said,

"Mummy, I'm not going to obey you ever again."

I think he meant "disobey", but I'll take what I can get!
