Today my four-year-old daughter asked if I would play school with her. This usually consists of my "sitting on the line" and listening and occasionally raising my hand to answer questions. It's pretty much a one-woman show though. She really knows her stuff and has great classroom management.
Today she read a Christmas story. She said she would sing the story, and then she sang part of a song she must be learning at school in music class for the upcoming Christmas show. It started strong, and then she flipped the page and saw Mary and the angel, so she made up a little tune about Mary and the angel, then she flipped and saw Joseph leading the donkey with Mary, so she sang about "Jesus' daddy was taking Mary camping." Then she got to the next page and seemed stumped, so she said, "This book has two parts: It's first about the baby Jesus, then it's about Mary had a little lamb" and she broke out into "Mary Had a Little Lamb."
Well, I can definitely see the beauty of letting "Mary Had a Little Lamb" take on a theological meaning.
