Again, not quite the right take-home message

On the drive to church this morning, I was -- momentarily -- so proud of my toddler and the obviously good job we've done of teaching her the gospel.

"Jesus loves me," she said (which is something she says frequently, often when I get frustrated for some toddler infraction and start to raise my voice). "He's going to come again--"

This, of course, is where I felt the swelling in my bosom. Wow! All our talk of Christ and His mission have sunk in to her little toddler heart! But alas, she continued:

"--and Santa Claus is going to come again. And he's going to bring me more presents."

Oh.

And wait. Santa Claus is going to bring her presents additional to the ones she got on Christmas day? Or he'll bring her more presents than Jesus will bring when He comes again?

I'm not sure. I figured it was best not to ask her to clarify.
