Holy Ghost?

It's funny to see how things connect in the minds of children. Especially my little Gabriela. Here's how the conversation went down the other night.

Gabriela: "Eww, Mami it's dark outside. That means there are scary bats and ghosts outside. Right?"

Me: "Well there could be bats, but I've never seen them. It's a good thing we are inside."

Gabriela: "Well Mom, it's o.k. (the lightbulb comes on, because you can see it in her eyes) Hey Mom, you remember the Holy Ghost! The Holy Ghost can protect us and he's nice."

Me: (so impressed with my child) "You're right. The Holy Ghost can protect us. I'm glad you remembered that."

Gabriela: "Hey Mom, maybe there could be Holy Bats and Holy Witches too like the Holy Ghost. They could be nice."

Looks like we need to review that lesson again for Family Home Evening. I'm thinking she's a little confused. It gave me a good laugh inside though.
