I recall the morning Kit and I were studying the book of John. Specifically, I was relating the story to her of the day John the Baptist sees Jesus. John announces “behold the lamb of God!”
I stopped the story and asked;
“Kit why did John just call Jesus a Lamb?”
Kit, in her best mimic of an old billie goat, whinnied
“Weeell, I’llll Teeellll Yooouuu”.
During the conversation, Kit asked if she could tell the story, instead of me, of the day John met Jesus. I couldn't wait to hear it. Her account of this story is as follows.

“John the Baptizer (not Baptist but Baptizer) was in the desert and he was shouting. He was shouting so loud and long that all the people that heard him asked, John what are you shouting about?"
According to Kit John’s reply was, “ I am shouting because I know a person who can tie his shoes better than I can, and you’ll know him to because a white bird will land on him”
“As for me, I baptize you with water; but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the thong of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. “
Luke 3:16

That made me laugh. It's funny how kids interpret things into images they can understand. I guess to her, tying shoes was a pretty tough deal but if anyone could do it - Jesus could. ;-)
Yea...interesting she never really has gotten into shoe strings. At least not like we did. Most of her shoes have velcro or a strap and buckle kind of devise.
