Aliens

Steve was out of town this past weekend and Grace spent a great deal of time angling to sleep in our bed while he was away. One of our conversations was as follows:

Grace (mustering all her acting skills): "I saw an alien. IN MY ROOM. AN ALIEN IN MY ROOM."

Me (unfazed, though slightly amused): "No kidding, what did he look like?"

Grace (undeterred): "No, really Mommy, it was an alien. God says in the Bible there are aliens. Really."

I wonder what they teach nowadays in Catholic Schools. Maybe she's studying Scientology.
