Exiting the Garden of Eden

The book Jack and I were reading this morning said the following:

'Then God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden.'

Jack piped up and said 'how did he do that?'.

I started to answer with a theological explanation of the fact that they had sinned and were being separated from God when Jack piped up 'yeah Mom I know THAT, but how did he do that?' Then it dawned on me that Jack was picturing Jesus driving a car with Adam and Eve in the back. Then right on cue he said 'I didn't think they had cars back then.'

Too funny!

I read your blog about fifteen minutes ago and I am still laughing.

That's classic! There are a couple instances in the Lord of the Rings where they talk about the men going together in the "van." I always laugh at what that brings to my mind versus what it really means!
