confusing

It has to be tough as a kid to figure out who really exists and who doesn't. There is the tooth fairy, the easter bunny, Santa Claus, leprechauns. The list goes on and on. And then God gets thrown in there with stories about fish swallowing people, guys not burning up in a fire, and blind men regaining their sight. I would have a hard time knowing what was real and keeping my facts straight.
Jem has apparently decided to mash them all together. Today, I sat at my mom's table and listened as he sang a song for us about Johnny Appleseed. I never did hear Johnny mentioned but I did catch the words elf and leprechaun and the phrase, "we are weak but he is strong." I did my best to listen intently and not burst out laughing but it was pretty tough.
This was followed by Jem randomly informing my mom that Jesus is the lord of summer.
Gaga: Oh. Well then who is the lord of winter?
Jem: Jesus and God are the lord of winter too.
Gaga: Okay. What about spring?
Jem: The leprechaun is the lord of spring.
Gaga: And fall?
Jem: The holy holy is the lord of fall.

I wonder if Jesus knows that the leprechaun took over springtime? Tricky little bugger.
