About a year or so ago Jeremy was given a Thomas the Tank Engine Movie called "Thomas and the Magic Railroad". In it, Thomas helps find a lost engine who is the key to all the magic on Sodor Island. During all of this, Diesel, a diesel train (all other trains in the movie were steam engines), is trying to hurt the other engines.
Well, I was helping Jeremy put on a set of his Thomas pajamas when he looked at me and said "Diesel is part of the devil". I asked why. He told me "because he's mean". Then he went on to tell me that Thomas and Percie and James were all part of the Spirit because they were nice.
Though the language is definately 2 year old style, he understood the concept that doing mean things is being on the devil's side and doing nice things means we are listening to the Spirit. The good news: Something we've been teaching him got through, even if it did come with trains! :)
did you tell him that diesel is more fuel efficient than regular unleaded :)
