Justin on “Myrrh”

As we were having our nightly Advent time and Jeremy was reading the Christmas story he got to the part about the wise men. As he was reading about the one who brought myrrh to the newborn King, Justin interjects quite confidently, “Myrrh is dried poop!” There was dead silence for a few seconds and then I realized what he was thinking and said, “No, Justin, that’s manure, not myrrh.” Then, there was peals of laughter as he buried his face in the couch…poor little guy! But, leave it to him to let us know exactly what he’s thinking. And, boy are we glad he did in this situation. Don’t want him thinking the wise men were bringing baby Jesus dried poop as a special gift!
