Tom, Laura, and I were playing the board game, Hear Me Out! Players of this game "free-associate" on a wide range of topics.Laura drew a card that said to write down the names of three influential Bible figures.
We each wrote down three names and then compared our answers.
Tom: Jesus, Noah, and Moses.
Cheri: God, Jesus, and Noah.
Laura: God, Bruce, and Evan.
[Laughter]
Tom: Laura, you do know that Evan Almighty was based on the person in the Bible who built an ark, right?
Laura: Yes, Joan of Arc.
Cheri: And you were worried that she'd be brainwashed at church?

Laura ALWAYS gets the answers right! ; )
Did I tell this before? I LOVE your kid!
She may not have her Bible figures down pat, but she’s knowledgeable in other areas – history, the movies…!!
OH!
Ha! Brilliant.
I LOVE this kinda kid logic. Totally natural. Despite being a regular church goer and, let's face it, knowing quite a bit of history (I like reading about it) and knowing the Bible reasonably well, I still get some of the names mixed up myself.
I mean, she's right isn't she. It as Joan of Arc who built the Ark? I'm sure of it...
I think she is the most genius comedienne ever, that's all. I see the beginnings of brilliant Gilda Radner deadpan there.
I'm with Stephanie. (Well, I'm always with her, really. She's brilliant.)
That girl of yours is fantastic.
She's my kind of girl!! You wouldn't believe the trouble I get into here in the 'belt'!
I know the Bible really well, being an 18 year church goer/catholic school survivor. Morgan Freeman, Jim Carrey, and Steve Carell are in the bible. You haven't read that chapter? It's the Gospel according to Laura. Duh.
Your kid is a trip! I love it!
What a great response, Laura! Your church seems a lot more fun than mine!
It was Adam who parted the Red Sea, right? Ask Laura.

I love it.
Christianity via Hollywood! Good one.
church brainwashers better move on to plan b.
That sounds like a cool game!
Um, I'm imagining Tom getting quite a kick out of this.
You know, that book was written by many people, many years after any of the historical facts. Maybe she's got it right. We all know that God is still trying to get the gender references to her corrected.
So much hawtness and snorting. I approve wholeheartedly.
Wait, who is Bruce?!
hahaha. sometimes people say things without thinking first. that's pretty funny though.
one time, i was at the beach and i saw a big bird flying by. I pointed and out of my mouth came "Look, a penguin!"
of course, penguins can't fly, and i meant pelican.
Laura is perfect!
Ha, she's a doll! And a smartypants!
That's great! We're always worried about the boys getting "brainwashed" at church too. Laura proves there's hope!
We just watched Evan Almighty the other night!!
Good answers Laura.
Ha! I think her logic is pretty bulletproof, there!
Laura rules!
Bruce? Like Springsteen?
I love, love that brain of hers . . .
You have a totally cool kid (and you gotta admit, that was a classic answer . . . classic!).
and hey, you said so yourself, it was free association.
Laura is my kind of kid. Oh, and Little Dude says she's right about Evan.

LOL! Who else would Joan of Arc be?
HA HA HA!!! We were playing the game this weekend and we unanimously decided to skip that card...I'm glad you came across it. :)
haha at least you dont have to worry about her being brainwashed...
Now THAT is funny!
