Here's a funny kid quote...
I had the book of Caravaggio's paintings open on the dining room table as I was reading his biography and Asa started flipping through them, which led to long discussions of what most of the pictures were about. The longest by far was on his painting of the "Penitent Magdalen" because Asa wanted to know why this woman was so sad, what her story was, etc. I tried to explain as best I could what the painting was trying to represent about Mary Magdalen, but I had never discussed the term "prostitute" with my nine year old before, so that took a little deft explaining.
After which, she came out with:
"Well then, when she wants to become a mother she'll be able to really easily, because she'll have practiced a lot."
That one definitely had me almost ROTFLOL!
