walk on water

conversation with dominic at lunch -

dominic asks me to tell him a story about Jesus. i start to tell him about Jesus walking on water, and then i'm trying to describe to him what it was and how amazing it was that Jesus walked on water. i tell him, "you know when you go swimming, if you put your feet in the water, what happens? do your feet stay on top of the water? or do they go down into the water?"

"they go down into the water," he says and he gets a bit distracted by the thought of swimming.

"what happens when your feet go into the water?" i ask, thinking he'll say he swims or grabs the ledge, or something else he does when swimming.

"i will die," he says

whoa! i wasn't trying to go there...
