Conversing

M: Jilli, do you want to bless anyone before we go to sleep?
J: Yes, Bless Angie and Bless Angie and Bless Claire and Bless Flower and Bless Pillow.
M: You are being silly.
J: And Bless Angels. Mommy? Sometimes I see angels by the moon.
M: Really? What do they look like?
J: They are angels, but sometimes I can't see them.
M: I think they are there even if you can't see them. They protect you.
J: Yeah, angels are to protect you. They protect you from grizzly bears. Because bears are mean.
M: (laughing)
J: But not Baloo. He is a nice bear and he lives in the jungle with his friend Mowgli. Mowgli is a boy, not a girl, and he doesn't wear a shirt.
M: (convulsing)
J: He doesn't wear a shirt because its hot outside. Mommy? I want to go to school tomorrow for pajama day.
M: Ok, do you want to say 'Bless' to anyone else?
J: Yeah, Bless Angie and Bless Angie and Bless someone we don't know.
M: Who is someone we don't know?
J: We don't know someone Mommy.
M: Ok, do you want to say Amen now?
J: Mommy! Now you said it! Now we have to start all over again!
