Today after school, Owen was telling me the Easter story. His version had all the basic story elements and the main characters, Jesus, the good guys, the bad guys, and God. He could not quite comprehend why the “bad guys” were so unkind. (something that he has worried about with other bible stories – Daniel in the lions den and David and Goliath…)
After telling the story, he paused and just thought for awhile.
Owen: All of that happened last year when I was three.
Mama: Well, that story is from a very long time ago. It was a time before anyone you know was even born.
Owen: Oh, yeah, that’s right. It was way back in The Mean Times.
I suppose that is what the Olden Times must seem like to him.
