Touché

At church this evening there was a man with a patch on his eye.  It had obviously been injured recently.  This is the conversation that Daughter #2 and I had:

Daughter #2: Tonight I’m going to pray for that man with the patch on his eye.  I don’t know his name, but I’ll just pray for “the man with the patch on his eye.”

Owen: I’m pretty sure God will know who you’re talking about.  He kinda knows a lot of things.

Daughter #2: Not “kinda.” He KNOWS a lot of things.

Touché.

2. That’s a little sad.  She only thinks she knows that because people with a lot of credibility in her life tell her that while she’s very young.  It’s a kind sentiment, but I’d be more impressed if she said, “IF the stories I’ve read happen to be true, he KNOWS a lot of things.”

3. Wow. Bash a child for caring - unprompted - for someone in need. Maybe she’ll pray for you, too.

   Sweet story, Owen. Kids are a precious gift.

5. JIJAWM,
   What is “a little sad” is that in your enlightened view of the world, you cant comprehend that she is not trying to impress you - or anyone else for that matter.

6. tee bee,
   I didn’t bash anyone.  I noted the kind sentiment. 

   Dean,
   I didn’t say she was trying to impress anyone.  Owen’s “touche” remark and the first comment indicate an impressed reaction.  I was commenting on that.  It’s sad that you can’t comprehend that distinction.
