A young person's guide to salvation

Addison and I were discussing something that led to talking about going to heaven/salvation. I told her that if she wanted to go to heaven, she needed to ask Jesus into her heart. She got a very worried look on her face and exclaimed, "But then He will stomp on my belly!"

This is what really happened to the dinosaurs. (Addison's version)

Addison was playing with a toy dinosaur and asked if one would eat her. I told her she would be fine because there were no more dinosaurs. She was still worried, so I told her they were all dead. She then asked, "They died on the cross?" I laughed and told her no. Then she asked "Did they die for our sins?" I'm glad she's understanding Christ and His sacrifice for us, but she still has a way to go.

Little Bo Peep and the lost spoon ???

So Addison was out in the living room the other day eating her cereal while Jen was getting ready. Jen came out and asked Addison to pick up her bowl and spoon and put it in the kitchen. Here is pretty close to how this conversation went...
Jen: "Addison you need to put your bowl and spoon in the sink so Makenna doesn't get the spoon cause it can hurt her."
Addison runs off to get it all and comes to Jen a few minutes later in a somewhat distressed mood.
Addison: "Mommy I can't find my spoon"
Jen: "Where did you put it?"
Addison: "I don't know..." gesturing with her hands
Jen: "Did you lose it?"
Addison: "I looked and looked and I can't find it anywhere! It is lost like little Bo Peep lost her sheep! It is lost!" gesturing with her hands and in a somewhat distressed/whining mood.
