I have a 4-year-old grandson who is presently at the stage of delineating what is appropriate behavior and appearance for boys vs. girls. Recently, I was reading to him a book about God and the angels.

When he saw a picture of God the Father, in which He was depicted with a long white beard and long white hair, he made no comment. But when we turned to a picture of Jesus, my little sweet pea wanted to know why Jesus had long hair in the picture, as it made him look like a girl.

I tried to explain to the child that long hair was in style for men when Jesus was on the Earth. In all earnestness, my grandson asked, “Well, don’t they have any barbers up there?”

Why did,nt you just tell him the truth, that the picture is just a figment of the imagination of an artist who is in it to make money.
