On the bright side

I was driving my son to preschool the other morning. He is very inquisitive, so I was trying to answer his questions about life as best as I could. He asked, “Mom, did the disciples live in Brookings, [S.D.], before we were born?” I told him that the disciples lived a long time before we were ever born and that they didn’t live in Brookings, but that they lived far, far away in another country halfway around the world.

He thought about that for a moment and then his eyes got big, and he said with excitement, “Were they from Chicago?!”
