I was putting L and N to bed tonight and L had a request. "Can you tell me a story about God?""What kind of story about God?" I asked.
"The one where God created all the animals." And so the story got told, with lots of input from L, and some from N as well, a portion of which is related below.
| Daddy: | So a long time ago, after God made the world, there was nothing in it. Just trees and rocks and oceans with seaweed. |
| L: | And birds! |
| Daddy: | No, this was before there were any birds. So God decided to fill the world and put things in the sky and in the lakes and rivers and oceans. |
| L: | And on the ground! |
| N: | The ground! |
| Daddy: | Right, and on the ground too. So God made all kinds of animals, like elephants and kitty cats and lions... |
| L: | And doggies... |
| N: | Yeah! Doggies! |
| Daddy: | And doggies. And tigers... |
| L: | I'm scared of tigers! They might bite me! |
| Daddy: | And penguins... |
| L: | I love penguins! |
| Daddy: | And stingrays and tuna fish... |
| L: | I love tuna fish! |
| Daddy: | And peahawks [L's name for the peacocks in the area] |
| N: | Peahawks! |
| L: | I love peahawks! Did God make porcupines? |
| Daddy: | Yes, He made porcupines too. |
| L: | God had to be very careful when he made porcupines. |
