Catholic Conversations with a Toddler

I was at my friend's house yesterday and had a pretty awesome interaction with her daughter, who is about two years old.  She was sitting on my lap, and she started fiddling with the cross I was wearing.  Confused that it was just a cross, not a crucifix with an image of the Lord on it, she asked:

Two:  Where Jesus?
Me:  Hmm?
Two:  Where Jesus?  (holds up the empty cross, confused)
Me:  Oh, this is the cross after He was raised up.
Two:  He raise up?
Me:  Yep, He's raised up.
Two:  I eat it.  (puts cross in her mouth)
Me:  (pulling the cross out of her mouth)  No, no, you don't eat the cross.  You eat Jesus.
Two:  I eat Jesus?
Me:  Yes, but later.
Two:  I eat cookie?
Me:  Yes, let's go eat a cookie.

This has been Catholic conversations with a two-year-old:  the part of the show were a two-year-old has a very Catholic conversation.
