I am sure police officer's children play "cops and robbers" and Doctor's kids play "hospital" and maybe school teachers sons and daughters play "school", but what do Pastor's kids play in the backyard? Baptism's of course, hahaha. Here are my 2 oldest, pretending to baptize each other the other day...
There's a famous story about Athanasius of Alexandria who, as a child, would play with the other children. One day as they were out in the water and Athanasius was baptizing them, Alexander the bishop of Alexandria watched and saw that Athanasius, though a child, performed the baptismal rite perfectly, and, since it was performed under the supervision of the bishop, decided to recognize the baptisms as legitimate. I'm just sayin...
