Now THAT would be some relic!

[curiouswombat]

There is a programme on TV sometime over this week that asks what happened to Jesus' foreskin? Was it preserved? Is it preserved somewhere as a relic?

Well I've just heard of something that would certainly out-do that as a relic...


I visited my Mum today and she told me of a conversation yesterday with a friend.

Her friend's daughter is studying childcare and is on a placement in a nursery at the moment. They had their traditional Nativity last week and Chloe had the following conversation with a very small girl of about 3 or 4.

VSG; "What happened to the shell?"

Chloe; "Shell? Um - what shell?"

VSG; "Jesus's shell."

Chloe; "???"

VSG; "From his egg."

Chloe; "???"

VSG; "You know... we just sung a song about it. Mary laid him in the manger. So what happened to the shell?"

I guess it could be another all-penguin AU?

One of those stories which will follow that child around as long as anyone who knows it survives, I'm sure.

Julia, kid's minds are scary places

You are right - my mum still tells stories of when I was that age.

And yes - very scary places.
