Setup: Church. A Baptism is taking place. Melanie (2.5) is on my lap.
Melanie: Why they putting the baby in the bucket?
Andy: Wow, sweetie. That's a good question. (aside) What is the age-appropriate response to that?
She has some exposure to forgiveness with her "I'm sorry" training. I could probably equate hell to a time-out that just never ends. Though, doing so would likely introduce death, which would get confusing because I'd have just told her a person is in time out... but dead... so, now I need to try to explain the concept of a spirit.
Couldn't she have just asked me where the baby came from? That might be easier.
