define: Facebook relationship status "It's Complicated"


Look closely, above you'll find our Little People Nativity scene. My mom gave it to the kids a few years ago, and they enjoy bringing it out and playing with it around the Christmas season. This is not a look, don't touch nativity scene, the kids are welcome to freely interact with it. They take turns setting the scene up however they see fit, all the kids as babies would walk off with a piece here or there, but they always found their way back to the table. That is until this year, from time to time the scene will get pulled down even when the snow isn't flying-so when I couldn't find Joseph a month or so ago I just brushed it off and said it must be in one of the other toy boxes. No such luck, so I reluctantly set up the set for the first time a few weeks ago hoping the kids wouldn't notice. You know, cause "what's the big deal if Joseph isn't in the set?" I'm not overly religious, but even I know the nativity scene without Joseph isn't exactly teaching the kids a 'lesson in Christ'. I need to contact Fisher Price and see if they sell the characters ala carte, and hopefully put Joseph back where he belongs.

In the meantime, just this past week Laura was looking at the set and said "mom where's Jesus' dad?" I couldn't help but laugh to myself and tell her "it's complicated".
