Eight year old Eli asked me if I was a Christian.
I set in on my explanation and he interrupts me,
"So you don't think it's made-up? It's not fake. There was a Jesus."
Later he caught a headache that brought him to tears. He thanked me three times.
"Why are you thanking me Eli?"
Earlier I had used the words "hypocrite" and "hypocricy".
I was saying what I thought Jesus would say.
"Because you're always so nice. You laugh all the time. Thank you."
Later I began to retell the story to a new friend. And I couldn't.
I don't remember what was said after that.
