Missing the Point

I was a lazy parent tonight and let Caleb watch "Jonah and the Big Whale" (of Veggie Tales fame) before he went to bed. Since I had never seen it before and I was too tired to grade essays, I watched it with him. At one point, a choir of glowing asparagus appear before Jonah in the belly of the whale, belting out "God is a God of second chances!"

Caleb: What's that?
Me: They're angels.
Caleb: Angels?
Me: Yes, angels.
Caleb: They're not supposed to be angels. Go away angels! This is a pirate ship! Arrgggh!

Saturday morning cartoons, Sunday morning values? Perhaps not.
