Get out the cattle!

Conversation Bunny girl (BG) and I had just a few minutes ago....

BG: " Mama can you sing 'Away in a manger'"

Me: " Sure. Away in a manger, no crib for a bed"

At this point she joins in with the singing
We reach the second verse. She doesn't know this verse, so listens intently..

Me: "The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes. The little.. "

BG: "Mama?"

Me: "What, baby?"

BG: "Did Jesus cry when He was a baby?"

Me: "All babies cry. Even Jesus cried when He was a baby."

BG: " No Mama. Jesus won't cry when they take the cattle out of the bag. When they're in the bag, then He'll cry. "

I try hard not to laugh...

Me: " What do you think cattle is, baby? "

In a very matter of fact, confident tone she answers... "A present !"

P.S. This was the closest picture to 'cattle' I could find!
