Jesus With a Sword

This was your funny/sweet story tonight as we were getting ready for bed.

Petra: I don't like yellow, Mommy. (said in reference to your yellow Dora the Explorer pajamas)

Me: You don't like yellow, huh?

Petra: Nope. Do you like yellow, Mommy?

Me: Yes, I like yellow. It's like a sunshine.

Petra: Oh. (pause) Belle (from 'Beauty and the Beast') wears yellow.

Me: Yes, she does.

Petra: Why does Belle have the Beast and not the prince like Cinderella?

Me: Well, the Beast is a prince, but an evil witch turned him into a beast....

Petra: OHHHH! What happened next?

Me: Well....Belle met the Beast and fell in love with him and kissed him and he turned back into the handsome prince.

Petra: And then what?

Me: Well...um....they got married and lived happily ever after in the castle.

Petra: That's a good story, Mommy. The witch tried to get me too.

Me: Oh, don't you worry, sweetheart. No witch can get you because Jesus keeps you safe.

Petra: Yeah. (pause) Jesus has a long sharp thing?

Me: A sword?

Petra: Yeah! A sword. Jesus use the sword to fight the witch.

Me: I guess that's one way of putting it.

Petra: Okay, Mommy. Maybe we can see Jesus in the morning.

Me: Sounds good to me.
