Oh NO!!! What was your answer?
April, it took me aback at first, but then I realized she must have read something. Turns out, she was reading Exodus and had just read this:
Exodus 4:25 (New International Version)
25 But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin and touched {Moses’} feet with it. [a] “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said.
I just told her (Thing One) the truth, at which she pretended to throw up. Thing Two remembered watching “The Nativity Story” and the part where Joseph & Mary take eight-day-old Baby Jesus to get circumcised, so she said, “Is it the part where they make the cut with a knife on the boy part?” Um, yes. ;-D
