Dad, you wouldn't believe this but: He's Alive!

This is one of the funniest yet probably most meaningful things one of my kids ever said to me. On Easter Sunday, we were at home watching the Passion of Christ movie with the kids, and Aida (3 yr old) turns to me at the end and she says:
You wouln't believe this, but He's alive, alive alive!... (at this point I'm both fighting back tears and trying hard not to laugh, because I definitelly don't want her to think I'm laughing at her).
The part that really got me was the "you wouldn't believe this"... because she put her finger right on one of my most obvious character traits: I'm really the skeptic in the family when it comes to believing anything. On one hand, these days it's insane NOT to be skeptical about just about everything. There is a whole industry out there built opon figuring out ways to part naive people from their money. How does one balance staying sane these days, with being a believer?
