Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy & Santa - Oh my!

Driving home one Friday after picking up pizza, the boys conversation turned to the Easter bunny. This is how it all went.

Jeremiah: The Easter Bunny left a mess out here on the roads.
Wesley: The Easter Bunny came through here?
J: Yes, he did. I think he's sad because he doesn't get the chocolate himself.
W: I think he's kinda like the tooth fairy. I don't know if I believe in the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and maybe Santa Claus.
J: What happens to your tooth then?
W: I believe there are some people somewhere with a tooth detector. They can sense when a tooth is missing. Then they sneak in the front door really quiet and take the tooth and leave the money.
J: But Wesley, have you ever seen them?
W: No.
J: Did you feel them?
W: No.
J: See, that means the tooth fairy is real. Here's what I'm going to do. When I lose my tooth, I'm going to put it under my pillow. If I don't feel anything, then I will be right. If I do feel something, then you will be right Wesley and I will say, "Wesley you are right" and I will punch myself in the face.

At this point, I'm trying to keep from dying laughing at the direction this conversation has turned. But I thought I had to interject something.

Me: But Jeremiah, what is the difference between Wesley's tooth detectors and your Tooth Fairy? How can the Tooth Fairy get your tooth without waking you up?
J: You see Daddy. The tooth detectors are people. They are solid, so I would feel them under my pillow. The tooth fairy is tiny.
Me: Well, how does that help her?
J: She can slide in the cracks under your pillow and get the tooth.
Me: Where would she put it?
J: Probably in her pocket.

The conversation takes another turn and they begin discussing about Jesus destroying 100 lbs weights because He is the most powerful. Then Jeremiah said, "Well God is going to destroy all these." To which Wesley replied, "But Jeremiah, Jesus is God."

So then we got into a discussion about the Trinity being three Persons in One. We named all the Persons in the Trinity. Jeremiah said, "Daddy, that's still kinda weird." I agreed with him and we went inside to enjoy some pizza.

My life with my boys - never a dull moment.
