Bible Stories

So the other day the boys requested a Bible story. We began with David and Goliath, their favorite, and proceeded to Sampson and then to Jesus. As I was trying to explain what happened during the resurrection of Jesus, the earthquake, the stone rolling away, the angel, I realized I might be overwhelming my audience. Just when I thought I had lost them Andrew interrupts my description of that day with his interpretation.

"And Jesus rose from the dead? Like Wolverine? ROOOOOAR!"

This was said with much gusto and excitement, and when he said, "roar" he flung out his arms.

That was a parallel I had not thought of until now. Andrew has not seen the X-men movies but maybe he did catch the commercial. You can watch it here and tell me if you see the likeness. (Skip ahead to 1:10 pay attention to the next eight seconds or so.)
