Giggles

Tonight we were having our family devotions and the kids were reviewing things we've read about Jesus in our devotion book (The Jesus Book by Stephen Elkins - great book!). Each boy takes turns and it was Micah's turn to say that Jesus taught about baptism. When he hesitated on the word "baptism" Joshua tried to help him by saying, "It's another word for 'bapto'". Well, I thought Joshua just totally made that up, so I started laughing. Then on the next one, Jesus taught about repentance, I said, "It's another word for 'repento'". The boys thought that was totally hilarious and everyone started giggling and making up words with "o" on the end of it. Then, to my shame, Daddy came to Joshua's defense and read to me that "bapto" is the Greek word for "baptism" and that Joshua really was correct in saying that. So my 6 year old's Greek is better than mine. :-) Nevertheless, we all laughed quite a bit tonight during devotions and had a great time. I'm not sure the boys ever really knew why we were laughing except that they thought "repento" was really funny. I guess I should brush up on my Greek before I start making up words next time. :-)
