A Couple More...

Last night at bedtime...

Dad: "Hey guys, remember that prayer time is not play time is it?"

Boys: "No."

Pause.

Davis punches Dad in the mouth whilst grinning from ear to ear.

Later...

Aidan: "I don't believe in God."

Dad: "Why not?"
Aidan: "I can't see him."

Dad: "He's real, even though we can't see him. He is Spirit."

Aidan: "Oh, you mean he's the clouds?"

Dad: "No, he's bigger than the clouds, he made the clouds and everything else in the sky."

Aidan: "Where is God?"

Dad: "Well... he's everywhere because he is Spirit."

Aidan (pointing up): "Is he up there?"

Dad: "He's higher than the sky."

Aidan: "Is he in outer space?"
Dad: "Well... he's higher than outer space. Heaven is not on earth, in the sky or outerspace."

Aidan: "Oh, then I don't want to go to heaven."

Dad: "Why?"

Aidan: "To get to heaven I would have to go through outer space and I don't want to go through outer space."

Dad: "Why?"

Aidan: "Aliens."
