One of the traditions my husband and I have started with our son is reading
The Bedtime Sh'ma by Sarah Gershman each night as the final book before bed. It is a nice way to bring a peaceful setting to the night, and I always find myself thinking about the words. The book starts off with the lines, "What have I done today? Did I hurt someone else? I ask for forgiveness. Did someone hurt me? I try to forgive." It is a good way to review my own actions ans words during the day.
Naturally, the word God comes up a lot.
Last week while reading the book, after hearing me say the word God, my son said, "No, mom, its God." I looked at him and tried to say God exactly the way he did, but he was not satisfied with my attempt. He corrected me again (in his mind at least, as my ears heard no difference in our pronunciations.) Is there really more than one way to say God? And am I really being corrected on this by a three year old?
