Are Giraffes Real?
Josh May 20th, 2007
Last night during family worship, Chloe and I read about Noah and the Ark. We talked about how God told Noah to get two of each animals to put on the Ark. I suppose this got her little mind thinkin’ about animals all night. Anyway, this morning before church we were reading about the creation of Adam & Eve and the fall.
We read where God gave men dominion over all the animals. In order to explain dominionto her, I told Chloe (emphasis added), “God was telling Adam that all the animals were under him and that they could not rule over humans.” So we keep reading for a few sentences and all of a sudden Chloe stops me an asks, “Daddy, are giraffes real?”
Distracted, I responded, “Well, yeah they’re real.”
Chloe: “And they’re really big, aren’t they?”
Me: “Yes.”
Punchline from Chloe (emphasis added): “So they could roll over us, couldn’t they?”
“rule over” to me was “roll over” to her.
