The latest Jude story…

Jude made us smile on Sunday evening as we were eating dinner.  We were talking about our day and trying to get Jude to tell us how Sunday School went with Asher, etc.  Jude kept saying, ‘Jenna says, “one, one”’ (and he would emphatically hold up his right index finger to indicate ‘one’ and then move it up and down as he said the second ‘one’).  I thought, ‘hmm, that’s interesting, there must have been something Auntie Jenna was teaching the kids in large group that meant something about one’.  Maybe she watned one child to speak at a time?  But Jude kept on saying it in a serious tone, ‘Jenna says, one, one’.

And then it hit Daniel and I - maybe she was teaching them a verse?  And then….a big… ‘OOOOhhhhhhh’ [light bulb – think Dispicable Me]. ‘Jenna says’… ‘Jennasays’ … ‘Jennasis’ … ‘Genesis 1:1’!!!!  And then we knew what he was talking about.  We said, ‘Did you learn Genesis 1:1 in Sunday School?’ Jude gives a really big silent nod. I say, ‘In the beginning, God created the heavens and the…’. And Jude finishes the statement by saying ‘Earth’ and holds up his arms in a big circle over his head.  So funny.  I still don’t know if he thinks it’s ‘Jenna says’ or ‘Genesis’ – but it sounds the same coming from a 3 year old.
