On getting "broke"


The best thing about three year olds is the random questions they ask.

Ellie - Mom, when are you gonna get broke?

Me - I'm not sure what you mean.

Ellie - When are you gonna get broke so Heavenly Father can fix you?

Me - What do you mean by broke?

Ellie - Like when your whole body gets on fired...that's broked and then Heavenly Father will fix you up. When is it gonna happen?

Me - I don't know.

Ellie (face:palm) - You have to say when.

Me (with not a clue how I should answer, I ask) - Well, when are you going to get "broke"?

Ellie (without skipping a beat) - At 5 o'clock.

That's not the answer I was expecting, although truthfully, I never know quite what to expect.

Ellie continues - A monster is going to eat me up and spit me out-then I'll be broke.

I can only hide my laughter by hugging her. Something tells me we need to revisit the whole Resurrection concept.
