Baptism

Sean reads the kids stories out of their Bible every night.  Tonight's story was about John the Baptist.  After the story, Anna asked what baptism was.  Sean gave roughly the following explanation:

"Well, when people ask Jesus into their heart, and they really understand what that means, the Bible says they should be baptized, which means they get dipped under water and then come up..."

At which point Anna interrupted and asked:

"And then they turn into dinosaurs?" 

I'm not sure Sean got back to the original explanation.  There was too much laughter going on.
