Babes

Ah, Erin. This morning Miss Thing and I were talking about Hebrews 11's mention of Moses and the serious badness found in Exodus 1 describing the tossing into the Nile of Israelite baby boys. (At least we were after she got over the general hilarity brought on by the midwife named Puah. She had to be shown the text to believe that Mom was not making that one up.) I figured it would help for my modern day girl to be told that "Men were generally considered to be warriors back in the day while women were not perceived as a threat because they were likely caring for their homes, the old people, and children. The reason the king wanted those boy babies chucked in the water was to prevent the wee fellows from growing up to be able to do battle." Erin considered the implications of this statement before responding out of her own experience. "Katie would do good. She would be really good for war. She can hurt Evan real good." Okay, then.
