A two-year-old's doctrine of creation

A recent conversation between my two daughters (aged 4 and 2):

Older sister: Do you know where animals come from?
Younger sister: From the Ark.
Older sister: (Laughter) No, God made the animals.
Younger sister: No he didn’t. Noah made them.

    the younger were in a way right:
    God created animals, but man named them

    may Christ light always your angels

    Well, Noah acts as if he's God...

    First time commenter, long time reader.

    Ben, your post reminded me of my 2yo daughter a couple of days ago, echoing a Colin Buchanan song and a love of fruit:

    "10, 9, 8... God is grapes!"
