New House Conversation

My conversation with Grayson this afternoon on the way to the park. We had been talking about how 2 of his buddies had moved and now lived in new houses.

G: Mommy, where's Marshall's new house?
M: In Belville.
G: Mommy, where's Wes' new house?
M: In Conroe.
G: Mommy, where's our new house?
M: I don't know, ask God.
G: Mommy, where's God?
M: God's in heaven (OK, OK, prime opportunity to talk about the omnipresence of God, but mommy's brain was tired from all the previous why questions!)
G: I want to go to heaven and talk to God.
M: You can talk to God now through prayer.
G: God, where's my new house? (The tone was hilarious - but I loved the sincere, honest, straightforward approach; can we say childlike faith?)

    That'll bite you in the butt later. You give 10 right answers, they won't remember them. You give one wrong answer, they will be acting confused 5 years later.
