The Goblin of God
We misplaced something last night. "That's weird. I wonder where it went?" I wondered aloud.
"Maybe a goblin took it," one of the girls joked.
The Boy's eyes lit up. "A goblin? It must be the goblin of GOD!"
My daughter and I looked at each other doubtfully. "The goblin of God?" I repeated.
"Yes," The Boy continued, "the goblin of God. It was with the Israelites."
Evidently he was repeating a story he'd heard at church or preschool, but I couldn't think what it would be. Maybe a story about a goblet?
"I'm sorry," I finally said, not wanting him to merge Halloween with Christmas. "I'm pretty sure there isn't a goblin of God."
"Yes there is! There was a goblin that followed the Israelites. It went behind them to protect them from the Egypkins when they left Egypt. At night it was a fire so they could see it."
"Oh! The column of fire."
"No, the goblin of God."
Right. How comforting.

Well I came in search of the Store Wars link (still can't find it - sorry) but was fortunate to get the scoop on the goblin of God. What a hoot! Kids are so eclectic in what they absorb aren't they?
Thanks for including me in your links :) I'll do my best to keep up my laughable quota just for you (short of breaking another foot for more material, you understand.)
It's nice to get acquainted with some bloggers I admire! The store wars link did something funny when I pasted it into your comments.
To make it easier, I found the direct link:

Hope that helps you find it!
