The following night when Ben tucked her in, they had a conversation that went like this:
Mia: I have so much to ask you. If I dream about Michael Jackson, I will pray and the Holy Ghost will come into me and I won't be scared. And I can tell when Michael Jackson is a zombie because his face is a circle. But when he's not a zombie he looks like a girl and it is a oval. What I really want to know, is it true that the Holy Ghost doesn't have a body?
(All of this said in one breath)
Ben: Yes
Mia: She gets this huge surprised face on and says, He wasn't even ever a baby?
Ben: No, he's just a spirit.
Mia: A spirit like a ghost? Why doesn't he get a body?
Ben: It's because the Holy Ghost can touch you in your heart.
Ben touched her on her chest.
Ben: See, I can't touch your heart because I have a body but the Holy Ghost doesn't have a body so he can touch your heart.
Mia: I can feel him in my heart when I pray to Heavenly Father so I'm not scared about Michael Jackson.
Another time . . .
Mia: Was Heavenly Father ever a baby?
Ben: Yeah, one time.
Mia: HE'S the biggest! HE'S the most powerfulest in the world!
I just love how this girl thinks!

"I can feel him in my heart when I pray to Heavenly Father so I'm not scared about Michael Jackson." The coolest thing I've heard in a long time :)
hahahaa where does she come up with some of the things she says! She is sooo funny. I love how she is just so willing to accept as truth whatever Ben tells her. Hopefully he never tells her there is a boy stuck in the walls trying to get out and that's why the walls sometimes creak.
Abby! That is a creepy story. You are going to make me have nightmares.
Did Ben tell you that Abby? I might have told Ben that. I have a vague recollection of that story. Kids are the greatest. Pure, simple thoughts. Wise is the parent who takes the time to learn from their children. (Did I just sound like Yoda)
Your kids are the cutest. Well, after mine, that is . . .
Super cute!
