The fossils - March 2011

The fossils - March 2011
 
Johnny asked me yesterday, “Papa, did the fossils kill Jesus?” At age 4+, he’s in his last year of Catholic pre-school. 
 
“Fossils?” I say.
 
“Yes, the fossils.”
 
What? You mean fossils, those imprints in rocks - of insects and leaves?”
 
“No not fossils – fossils”
 
“Huh?”
 
“Not fossils, fossils, there’s an ‘A’”
 
“You mean Pharisees?”
 
“No fossils. with A”
 
“Oh – apostles!”
 
“Yes. Did they kill Jesus Papa?”
 
“No they were his friends.
 
"Who killed Jesus?"
 
" … ahhh … bad people, not the apostles.”
