Homework: Symbol of America





So many emotions ran through me as I saw Lily's homework tonight:

  1. First, bewilderment. Not to give away too much of my personal religious journey, but how did God get into her head? (Much the same question I asked about Lily and Disney princesses when she was 2 1/2.) 
  2. Second, more bewilderment. Why did she select God as a symbol of America? (We don't even have cable TV--hence, no Fox News.)
  3. Finally, pride. At least God is a girl. 
 "Of course God's a girl. But Jesus is a boy," Lily informed me.
