I have found that bedtime brings about some of the sweetest and funniest conversations with the boys. They just seem to let their guard down and allow themselves to be introspective for a little bit. Here is a sample of a night time conversation with Shane.
Shane: God is everywhere, right?
Me: Ummm......yeah.
Shane: So He kind of follows us around?
Me: Sort of.
Shane: But He has to stay outside the buildings, right? Because He is too big and He would break the building.
How does one explain this to a five year old so that he understands and grasps the awe inspiring magnitude of God? I'm sure Shane is thinking that he must be similar to the superhero's that he loves. Not quite buddy.
Here is another conversation with Shane that took place on the way to church recently. He did not want to go - he had other ideas of things he would like to do with his dad. The boys could very easily monopolize Mark's time so that playing with them would be his full time job.
Me: Shane, you always enjoy your class at church. You get to learn lots of cool stuff....
Shane: I don't learn anything cool. All I learn about is God and Jesus.
Out of the mouth of babes......
