Biblical Interpretation Through the Eyes of a Two-Year-Old

Last night The Wee's devotion was about John 15:5 - "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." It used a cute little picture of a boy in overalls climbing a ladder to pick cherries off a tree to illustrate the difference between branches with fruit and branches without fruit. The devotion's last question was "What kind of branch do you want to be?" (Meaning, do you want to have fruit or no fruit?)
The Wee immediately and excitedly replied, "I'm a branch! No, I'm the ladder. You be the vine!"
Maybe next year.
