Our good friends are visiting us from Turkey. They have a three-year-old who is 3 weeks older than Jack, named Josh. Here is a conversation between the two of them today with a bit of mediation on my part:
Jack: Mommy, Josh just scratched me.
Erin: Oh, Jack, I am sure it was an accident. Just tell him that you don't like to be scratched, and I am sure he won't do it again.
Jack (towards Josh): Please don't scratch me. I don't like it.
Erin (towards Josh): It was just an accident. Wasn't it Josh? No big deal. Let's just move on.
Josh (a bit confused): No it wasn't an accident.
Erin (very surprised): It wasn't?
Josh (still a little unsure of what he wants to say): No, Yes, yes, it was an accident.
Jack (now in preaching mode): Yes, Josh. The Bible says (big pause) that if you aren't nice to people that you will be spanked.
I did correct Jack's theology (while I held back laughter).

Yep...there goes Jack's brand of theology again! :D
I laughed out loud. Glad you got that one recorded for posterity.
