Christmas gets me thinkin' about things my kids have said --
Like when my daughter said to her grandfather, "You grew up in a different world--You just don't understand. Today we have television, jet planes, space travel, nuclear energy, computers . . ."
"You're right," he said, "We didn't have those things when we were young, so we invented them--So what are you doing for the next generation?"
Of course, when the kids were younger, their comments were a bit different:
"I don't understand why God lets people die and keeps making new ones. Why doesn't he keep the ones he already made?"
"Maybe Cain & Abel woudn'uv kilt each other if they'd had their own rooms."
"I bet it's hard for God to love the whole world. There are only 4 in our family, and I'm having a hard time loving all of them."
"Did God make fog? . . . Why? Does he like fog?"
Praying: "Thank you, God, for my baby brother. But I think you got confused, because I asked for a puppy."
"In school they taught us that Thomas Edison made light. But he stole the idea from God, right?"
This post is a gem!
