Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego

For family home evening, Claire was teaching a lesson on Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and was relating it to Elise, Mason, and Sammy...
CLAIRE: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego stood together, like we want you three to do.
STEPHEN: Who wants to be Shadrach, who wants to be Meshach, and who wants to be Abed-nego?
ELISE: I want to be Abed-nego.
CLAIRE: Mason, who do you want to be?
MASON: God.
[Laughter]
STEPHEN: No, you have to be one of the three before they are thrown in the fire.
MASON: [Running out of the room with his feelings hurt,] Fine, I'm not playing until you get to the fire part!
