Actual conversation:

Andrea walks into my office and says, “Could you explain to Katie what a spiritual marriage is?”

Me: “huh?”

She says, “well, I was explaining to her that Jesus is our king, and she asked who Jesus’ queen is, since every king needs a queen. So I told her the church is Jesus’ bride.”

Me: “ah.”

So I say, “Katie, it, ah, just means that when we die, we’ll all go to live with Jesus and be with Him forever.” (Oversimplification, I know, but she’s 4.)

Katie: “Oh, when we die. OK. Cause I didn’t know that CHURCHES could marry LORDS.”
