Setting: Trent and I were in the car listening to Positive Life Radio. One of the lyrics to a song was "Jesus conquered the grave".
Trent: What does "conquered the grave mean"?
Me: Jesus died for our sins and that if we believe in him, we never die. (trying to keep it short and sweet)
Trent: Oh. Am I the son of God?
Me: Well, not THE son of God, but a child of God and a brother in Christ
Trent. Oh. Who named Jesus?
Me: The angels told Mary what to name the baby.***
Trent: Oh. Was Mary an angel?
Me: No
Trent: Oh. Can you have babies in Heaven?
Me: I don't think so.
Trent: Does God have a dog?
At this point, I was ready to bang my head on the steering wheel. The child did not take a breath in between questions.
I told Trent if Heaven meant that God had a dog, then yes, I'm sure there are a few up there hanging around.
I finally arrived at the pool and was glad to drop him off. I needed a moment of silence.
***Thinking back now, I think the Angels told Joseph what to name the baby..

That is awesome. Such curious minds. Zoe asked me the other day: what would happen if God ever got sick of having so many people live with him????
The boy is just curious about everything. "What would happen if the world stop spinining? Can the sun blow up? Can bees kill you? Can your heart break? " For the last six months it haa been nonstop with him.
