Playing the Jesus Card- checkmate!
3 responses that prove my child’s debating skills are superior to mine:
An incident of Jesus Checkmate!
Context: Your child is watching bloody animated dinosaur battles on youtube and so you intervene to stop the viewing and the following dialogue ensues:
‘Please stop watching this video, you will get nightmares’
‘I never have nightmares’ response #1
‘But this is so violent’
‘Mommy, it is just a cartoon’ response #2
‘Don’t watch dinosaurs killing each other, it will scare you.’
‘Nothing scares me because Jesus is in my heart, right?’ response #3
Dear parents, please learn from my mistake: if your child emphasizes the ‘right?’ at the end of his/her statement, take it as a sign that you are TOAST. It also means that the child has learned that you can never beat the Jesus Card and is now using the card to his/her advantage like a master negotiator. Checkmate!
Abort the mission and retreat.
I certainly did.

Jesus taught us to be like children , their thinking are pure, no yukki stuff , no dark thought, everything is bad, they are not a robot , they are smart , imaginative, .when my kids were small , when I tell them something , I don’t give orders, I just discuss the pour and contre, and if they are right , I listen to them.? Specially when they grow up , you are suppose not be only a mother , but their friend ,., your first 5 years , you stablished your way of life, What you except of them.?they grow up not lying because you don’t lie at them , anyway, I believe the first year are very important.? And it’s up to the parent to give them a good exemple.?
How about your book .? Did you finish it yet.?? I can’t wait any longer. My sin is I have no patient.?? ❤️??
Thanks , for all the Saints , may their blessing be upon us all.
