Nativity and Ri

Some days ago, I told Ri the story of Christmas. Having studied in a Christian school, the story of the birth of the Christ and the Nativity play are close to my heart. I even added some sound effects in the middle, singing 'Jog along little donkey' to describe the scene where Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem. I felt proud that I managed to explain to my 23-month old what a carpenter was. Remember Joseph's profession? I explained to her that Jesus was the Lord's son and how he was born in a manger.

Well, to make sure she was listening intently, the Tiger Mom in me asked her some questions.

Me: Who travelled to Bethlehem?
Ri: Maryyyyyyyyy

Me: What did Joseph and Mary travel on?
Ri: Donkeyyyyyy

Me: So who was born in a manger on Christmas day?
Ri: (emphatically): Wee Willy Winky!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas Y'all.
