because Christouli doesn't waste chocolate chip cookies...

After constantly lecturing my children about how shameful it is to waste food, Ace and I have the following conversation in the car:Me: You can only eat a few of those cookies. You better not eat them all!Several minutes pass...Ace: Doesn't Christouli get sad when we throw food away?Me: {completely forgetting there are cookies in the car} Yes, he gets sad when we waste food because so many people have no food to eat at all.Ace: I thought so. So, we have to make sure not to waste anything at all.Me: Exactly.Ace: Because Jesus didn't waste any of his food or candy or popcorn {long pause} or cookies.Me: {smiling, shaking my head and wondering when kids became so darn smart}
