Protecting Baby Jesus

In one atrium I lead sessions, the infancy narratives are all in lovely square boxes with square-fitting lids. 

I said to the child in question, "I see the box is on the stable."

The response: "Baby Jesus needs protection." 
This was a 5 year old who was well-aware of the words of King Herod to the the Wise Men.
