children and theology

carlo: bakit nasa cross si jesus?
me: para ma-save tayo.
carlo: bakit niya tayo isa-save?
me: para di tayo mapunta sa hell.

i left at this point. then i sat down beside him again hoping he'd forget.

carlo: bakit nakapako si jesus?
me: (looking for help. saw the priest.) father, may tanong si carlo.
father dado: ano yun?
carlo: bakit nakapako si jesus?
father dado: nacha-challenge ang theology ko. how do you explain the crucifixion to a child?

after which he left. big fat help.

eventually....

carlo: bakit nakapako si jesus?
father dado: kasi makulit siya.

end of story.
