Curious Jake

We've taken the DVD players out of the car and so Jake has lots of questions to ask (torture to me on Justin's part). On the way home from school the other day, this was the conversation...

Jake: Does God sleep in the sun?
Mom: No, I don't think so Jake.
Long pause....
Jake: Where's heaven?
Mom: Way up high above the clouds.
Long pause...
Jake: Does God have a bed in heaven?
Mom: I guess he could (I know God doesn't need to sleep, but maybe He likes to lie down and rest?!?)
Long pause...
Jake: When Josh and I get up there, can we sit on His bed?
Mom: God likes little kids. I bet He would let you sit on His bed.
Long pause...
Jake: When I get up there, do you think He will let me and Josh jump on His bed?
Mom: I don't know about that....
Long pause...
Jake: When I get to heaven, can I ask God why He made skunks and tell Him that I don't like them?
Mom: Sure Jake, you can ask Him that...
Long pause...
Jake: Mom, where do skunks live?

And so the story goes on and on and on. That little boy has such an inquisitive mind. You never know what he's going to say or do. He always keeps us on our toes, that's for sure!

  1. Jenny... I am so glad you joined us! :) I LOVE conversations like this! This sounds exactly like a conversation I would have with Brooks! I know it gets mentally draining, but we wouldn't trade it for the world! Your boys are beautiful.
    Hope to see you soon!
