A Little Chocolate Jesus

So we're driving in the van today, taking advantage of the New Years' Day sales at the mall. The kids are singing along to the Bible Songs CD we've put on permanent status in the player. After a chorus or two of a classic gospel tune made into a song for children, Nikki suddenly pipes up
So why exactly would a person want a chocolate Jesus, anyway?
...
Cue dumbfounded looks on both of our faces.
Huh, sweetie?
...
Cue look on my middle daughter's face that speaks of how woefully ignorant her parents truly are.
The song! The song! Why would someone want a "chocolate Jesus"?
...
Cue look of fear on my face that I'm finally going to pay for seeing all those Altar Boys shows in 1987 from the front row, and my hearing is finally going.
Nikki, what do you mean, "chocolate Jesus"?
...
Cue Nikki, exasperated with the realization that not only is her dad incredibly stupid, but he's also going deaf. She breaks into song, just as the chorus comes up on the CD:
Just a little chocolate Jesus makes it right all right!
...
Nikki, sweetheart... that's "a little talk with Jesus..."
