Ben's Friend Jesus

Jack and I were counting down the days until Christmas this morning on the advent calendar: 7 days until Ben's birthday and Christmas Eve, and 8 days until Christmas Day.

"Ben and Baby Jesus have the same birthday?" Jack asked.

"Yes, they do," I said.

"Is Ben Baby Jesus's friend?" he asked.

I considered it: "I guess so.  I'm sure they are."

"Hey, Ben!  Your friend Baby Jesus has the same birthday as you!"

I realized later that Jack thinks Baby Jesus is also turning one-year-old.
