Sweet Innocence


In a day where children seem to grow up much too quickly, it's nice to know that there are many things that my 11 year old is naive about.

Tonight at dinner, Krissia was flipping through a fashion magazine when she stopped at a particular page and stared at the model. Making a face, she said that she thought that the girl in the picture looked like she was stoned. Bronson took a look and agreed.

Of course, Jefferson had to look too.

"Yep, she looks stoned to me," he said.

Krissia and Bronson started to laugh, teasing Jefferson by saying that he didn't even know what the term "stoned" meant. Jefferson emphatically said he did, and offered this explanation:

"You know, like in the Bible where people are getting stones thrown at them."

None of us offered the real definition - we were too busy laughing :)

I can just imagine Jefferson passionately defending himself, emphatically telling his siblings he knows what "stoned" means. But I do think he came up with a good explanation!
