Need to buy some time..
"Let me guess, some of your friends are saying otherwise, that they aren't real. Right?"
Head nod.
Hmmm, that didn't buy much time... Think Jared think...
"Well, let me ask you this. Do all your friends believe in God?"
"No."
"How do you know God exists? Do you actually see him?"
"Not sure, I don't actually see him."
"If you had to come up with a way to tell people you see him, how would you say you do?"
Shrugs
"It's in his works. The miracles you see everyday. How you feel inside when you believe, that kind of thing."
That obvious sign when the wheels are turning in someone's head displays on my daughter's head.
"How do you know Santa and the Tooth Fairy were there? You don't see them. But their gifts are there. So..."
The conversation went on how to avoid conflict with non-believers of Santa and the tooth fairy and how to stick up for your belief while still respecting theirs. Agreeing to disagree, so to speak.
More importantly we talked about believing in something that you can't physically see and not being influenced by what others think or say as much.
Que the full house music.
