Yesterday.
Jonah, running down the hall:
"There's really, really a monster in the house who will push me over and jump on me."
Jonah, after talking with Joel about how Jesus helps keep us safe:
"Mommy, Jesus made the monster go away!"
Today.
Jonah, refusing to go to bed:
"There's a monster in my room."
Elizabeth, trying to be understanding:
"You're worried that there's a monster in your room again?"
Jonah, clearly upset:
"There is monsters in my room and Jesus takes all my bikes away and mommy's bike and daddy's bike."
Elizabeth, feeling slightly confused:
"Huh?"
Jonah, getting more frantic:
"Jesus take all my bikes and ride on the road and Jesus stomped on them!"
Elizabeth, still feeling confused:
"You're worried that Jesus is going to take your bikes?"
Jonah, now sobbing:
"I don't want Jesus to take the bikes away!"
Elizabeth, trying not to laugh:
"Jesus is definitely not going to take your bikes away."
Jonah, still crying:
"I just don't want Jesus to take me bikes away!"
Elizabeth, to Joel:
"Somewhere, the lines of communication about this whole Jesus thing have broken down."

Stop that, you're making me cough myself to death (needless to say, won't be seeing me Sunday for all that Jesus talk...hack hack).
When are we going to meet at the aquarium? I mean, after I get over this cough of death?
Yay! I'm so excited you're blogging, it will be fun to keep up on the crazy dailiness of the Walshes!
