Do You Believe In Jesus?

This afternoon the kids were giving Holly a quick bath before we took her to the kennel. We were heading out of town for the weekend and this would be her first time being boarded. We couldn't have her smelling like a stinky dog.

Anyway, I overheard this conversation:

Aaron: (To PK who was peeking in to make sure everything was ok) Is this how you baptize someone? (Obviously trying to sprinkle the dog)

PK: Yes. But only people get baptized. (Walks away.)

ME: (In the other room, laughing and thinking we don't have time for a deep theological discussion. And isn't it cute that they want to play "baptize the congregation of one.")

The kids often play this game with Holly where they ask her a question and she will either nod her head yes or shake her head no. Usually it is questions like, "Is Mommy your favorite?" or "Do you want to play with your toys?" Her "answers" are really her moving her head and listening to them. I have no delusions that the dog is a genius and understands the entire English language and responds appropriately. If we can conquer sit, come and potty in the proper place on command, I will be happy.

Anyway, with that explanation, the conversation continues:

Aaron: Holly, do you believe in Jesus? (pause) She said, "Yes."

Me: (To PK) Well, they might drown the dog, but at least they get the whole accepting Jesus thing.
