Okay, here's a funny story:

When I was younger, I saw stuff about Jesus and Noah's Ark and all of that but I assumed that it was all just stuff from fairy tales, like Jack and the Beanstalk or something. So one day, when I was in kindergarten, I saw a picture of Jesus crucified.

I'd seen it before, but never paid it any nevermind. But then I really started thinking about it; why was Jesus nailed to a cross if he was a good guy?

I asked a kid nearby about this. I asked "Wasn't Jesus a good guy?" The kid looked at me and said "Yeah, Jesus was the best guy." I responded "So why did they nail him to that cross?"

The boy looked at me and without a moment's hesitation responded "They needed to make the wood stronger."

I just accepted that the story must have been about making a wooden cross stronger to hold up a house or something and didn't think anything of it for a couple more years before I learned what the story was actually about. To this day, I still wonder: was this something that the kid made up on the spot, or did he ask the same question that I did to his parents and they had to come up with something because they didn't want to tell him the whole bloody story?
