Knock Knock

I was deep in an intellectually stimulating conversation with Dorathea (4) and Jonathan (18m) at the dinner table, just the 3 of us, one evening. Dorathea had been launching knock-knock jokes at me, when suddenly she decided to launch one at her little brother. "Jonathan! - Knock, knock?" Having the restricted vocabulary of a 1-and-a-half-year-old, he replied, "Boo, beh." Without the slightest hesitation, Dorathea continues, "Interrupting cow." Jonathan [?]asked, "dah doo la dah mah da...." - "MOOOOOOO!" Dorathea interjected, and erupted into little-girl hysterics. Jonathan smiled and squealed loudly.
I think I laughed harder than they did.

Treasure in jars of clay

"For God who made the light shine in the darkness let his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.  But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show this all-surpasing power is from God and not from us." 2 Corinthians 4:6+7  -our study verse today
She made this playdough "Jar of clay"  for the light of Christ to shine in. "Do you know where God puts his treasure Dorathea?".  "On the pirate ship with the map?"
