Crackle: Mom… so.. it’s gonna be Dad’s birthday. Mom: Yes Crackle: So... can we buy him stuff? Mom: It’s in 2 days.  Crackle: I know. I know. Ok, let me think.   I know!  So... remember when I got birthday money when I turned 3? I got like $50. Let’s just give him that. Mom... are you listening to me?  So, when my show is over, can you bring me the wrapping paper and the tape and the scissors and the money?  Mom: From when you were 3?  Crackle: Yes.  And I like the blue wrapping paper.

Crackle: So Mom, I told my friends that we have a new Pastor at church. Mom: That’s great. Crackle: And, I told them he talks different and I think it sounds a little funny, and I don’t understand a lot of what he says and he was in prison. Mom: You what?! CRACKLE!  Did you explain he has an accent because he is originally from another country? Crackle: No. Mom: So, I’m guessing you also left out that he worked in the prison… AS a minister.. TO the people inside the prison. Crackle: Are you sure that’s correct because I think he just told us he was in prison. 

Pop: Mom... I want everyone to be kind to one another. I don’t want any more bad things to happen to people, especially to children. How can I bring peace into the world?  I can imagine it, but I don’t know how to do it.  Can you help me figure out how I could do it?  Mom: Ahh, yes… I understand those feelings and the idea you have. That is a very beautiful and noble idea. We'll explore it together - as a family.  You know, there is a man who wrote a song about this very thing.  Let’s listen to it.  Pop: Really?  So I’m not the only one?  Mom: No, you are not. Pop: Well, I really didn’t think I was the only one.  But... can I talk to him? Maybe we could work on this together?
