The Wicked Flea

This morning while the children were quietly doing their reading Emma piped up and asked "Mamma? What is a wicked flea?"

Everyone looks up from their Bibles, turns and looks at me.

Emma - "Is it like the bad flea that Madelines dog got and it spread and made the dog itchy?"(as in the book Madeline)

*Pause*

Me trying to figure out what she had just read. I asked her to use it in a sentence.

She then reads "The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion."

And we all snicker, pat her on the head and explain it as it is meant.
