Kai had a lot of questions for me the other morning over breakfast. A little background: we have a blue, shiny, pretty paperweight (more like a sparkly globe) in the middle of our table that used to be my Nonny's. Just a few minutes after she died, I grabbed this paperweight and stuck it in my purse. I figured no one would notice. Well, Kai did and he has loved it. We move it from room to room often.
As we were eating, he asked me if God lived in the globe. Then, he went on to ask if God was a man or woman. Next, he asked if he could go and visit God and find out if God was a real person. I tried to answer the best I could...but, I wanted to tell him that these are the sort of questions that people have been trying to answer for ages. He looked at me completely perplexed when I told him that I thought God lived everywhere and that God is a man and a woman (say what, vern?). He asked if everyone thought the same way I did (No!)
Our conversation left me smiling since it has been fun the past year or so having conversations that actually mean something...Kai is a pretty amazing kid.
