Cherry Picking with Jesús

Having a Spanish friend named Jesús can be confusing:

Sophia: Can we go to the beach?
Me: No, we're going to pick cherries with Jesus.
Sophia: No we're not!
Me: Yes, we are. We're going to meet Mama at the cherry farm and Jesus is going to show us around.
Sophia: No, we're not because Jesus isn't real!...
Me: Ha! Not the "Jesus Loves Me" Jesus. Do you remember the Jesus who came with us to Grand Rapids and he had crutches? Remember Jesús? He's from Spain.
Sophia: No, because that's not his name. His name is Jesús, not Jesus.
Me: It's both, honey. His name is Jesús, but we call him Jesus, too...

We'll cherry pick her Jesus theology later, haha.

Sophia did not want the picking to end. Thank you, Jesus and Flávio!
