Savanah Gets A Bit Mixed-Up

So the other day was Yom Kippur. Savanah, being that she is only 5 and that she isn't 100% on what each holiday is and what it means, was understandably curious about why I wasn't eating. So we sat down and talked about all the holidays and what each one meant (well, as best as I could explain them to a 5 year old, albeit a smart one), from Christmas and Easter, to Rosh Hashanah and Hanukkah. Then I explained to her why Mommy celebrated certain holidays that Daddy didn't really celebrate and why Daddy celebrated certain holidays that Mommy didn't. This she picked up really quickly and understood that Mommy and Daddy are of different religions and that she, as our daughter, is a bit of both (the best of both worlds is how I put it to her, which pleased her). We then discussed Yom Kippur. I explained to her that on Yom Kippur we spend the day asking God to forgive us for the things we've done wrong. I told her that we don't eat on that day so that God knows we are serious about asking for forgiveness. At this point she didn't want to eat either, until I explained that God understood that little girls need to eat to grow up big and strong and the he wouldn't be mad if she ate. She seemed to understand all of that and throughout the day she'd bring it up again and we'd go over it all again. Typically when she does this she is reinforcing her understanding of what we've already discussed so that she will remember it. Well, later that evening I was talking to my sister and Savanah wanted to show her what she learned about the holiday. "Well Aunt Lita, today is Yom Kippur so today is the day that God asks us to forgive him!" Apparently, at some point during the day, she got a little mixed up with who was forgiving who.
