Over the past few years my cousin has had two beautiful baby boys and is soon expecting a little girl. The oldest boy is 3 and is definitely in the stage where he wants to know everything. So my cousin, Betsy, sends out emails to our family to let us know what her little boy is curious about. Now I'm pretty much just going to copy and paste the email. I usually wouldn't try to steal her thunder but this is just too good not to post. So here are the words, directly from Betsy's keyboard, for your amusement:
JH's Theology Question of the Day:
JH: Mommy, did God die?
Me: No, JH, God's always alive.
JH: Then why did go to Heaven?
Me: Well, that's just one of the places God is and lives. (We've previously discussed how God is everywhere.)
JH: But, you have to die to go to Heaven.
Me: That's true, unless you're God.
Another conversation:
JH: Does God have one arm or two?
Me: We don't really know, but I like to think of God as having two arms.
JH: Does God have one leg or two legs?
Me: I guess he might have two. (Me thinking - how many one-legged things have you seen, child?)
JH: Well, I think God just has wings because he has to fly all over Heaven.
Good call, kiddo. You might just have something there.
JH also thinks it's great that everything poops. It's great that he poops and it's great that everything else poops: anything from dragonflies to wombats (and this literally keeps him awake at night). And, no, I'm not at all sure how God poops - but John would like to know.
Hey Cindy - He sure is a character. Maybe you'll get to hear some of his musings at the wedding.
