Yeah, but they know these are make believe (although my one swears she's seen Peter Pan!)
They are getting told in a very serious manner from people they trust (their teachers) that this is actually true! It's just madness to me!
My daughter is clever enough to differentiate between fairy tales and real life, but her questions re JC are just too much!..

Is Jesus real? (me; yip)
Is God real (me; hmmm)
Was Jesus bad? (me; no)
Why would they hammer nails through his wrists? (me; hmmm)
Did Jesus come back to life? (me; nope, that's not true)
Why did Rev Thom say he did? (me;cos that's what he believes)
Can The Gran come back to life (me; nope)
Can Thumpy come back tolife? (me; nope)

She's never asked i I believe if a pumpkin can be turned into a golden coach.. she just knows that they're fairy tales
