I really enjoyed reading this!
The "human" side of Jesus was beautifully and realistically shown in this portrayal of Him as a boy working with His earthly dad. The characters both seemed real and came alive for me in the descriptions and dialogue--something I don't find often in attempts to re-create Biblical events. Great job!
I had a problem here with Jesus' age. If he was young enough to be carried in his father's arms, he would be to young to remember the temple experience, since he was 12 at that time. Otherwise a very good piece and great pov.

While the timing context seems a bit awkward, it was interesting to imagine Jesus needing to learn too. Thanks!
