Sampson

Titus' Sunday School lesson a couple weeks ago was about Sampson.  The card that came home had a typical bible story depiction of a man with bushy shoulder-length hair, with flowing, somewhat ragged, white cloth about his body.  He was also "hugging" a scrawny lion.  Titus found this paper in the car yesterday and asked me what it was.  I told him it was about Sampson and the lion and what happened when Sampson's hair was cut.  So, Titus then proceeds to tell me what it is about.  It went something like this:
Titus: Yeah, this is about Sampson.  He got his hair cut.  Then he killed the lion with his hands.  And he leaked.
Me:  He leaked??
Titus: Yes.  He leaked.
Me: You mean he was weak?
Titus: No.  He leaked.
Me: Okay.  What did he leak?
Titus: He leaked in his pants.
Me: Oh (rather amused).
Titus:  No, He leaked in the toilet paper.
Me: Okay.  Interesting.

All I can figure is that the teacher told him Sampson was weak after having his hair cut, and Titus thought she said leak.  To his credit - Sampson's clothes do look a bit like toilet paper (especially if you are 3 1/2).
I suppose it is good that he remembers the story.  I'm not sure how much he has benefited from the story, but, at least he remembered it.

On a side note:  My little sister had her own adaptation to the end of the Sunday School song Zacheus, when she was little ... "For I'm going to your house to play toys and eat pizza".  Hannah was in the 2 and 3's class - so probably somewhere around Titus' age when she changed the song.
