Conversations in the Car - Vol. 3

Alec: Mommy, God have lots of minis?

Me: What, honey?

Alec: God have lots of minis?

Me: You mean money?

Alec: No, mi-nees, like minis.

Me: Honey I don’t know what you’re talking about.  Aidan do you know what he’s saying?

Aidan: No. (wow, he’s helpful)

Me: Alec say it again…

Alec: God have lots of minis, like you have in your purse.

Me: Like this? *holds up a quarter*

Yes.

Me: Honey, that’s money.  Yes, God has lots of money.  He owns all the money in the whole world.

Alec: Because he’s big?

Me: Yes, God is really big.

Alec: Are you as big as God?

Me: No, no one’s as big as God.  God is everywhere.

Alec: Bigger than Dad?

Me: Yes.

Alec: Bigger than you?

Me: Yes.

Alec: Bigger than me and Bubba?

Me: Yes.

Aidan: Alec, you are little, God is bigger than everyone!

Alec: No, Bubba, I’m big.  Mommy are you big?

Me: Well, I’m a grown up but I’m not big.

Alec: So you’re a little grown up?

Me: Well, sure, yes, I’m a little grown up.

Aidan: And Alec, you’re not as little as Jesus.

Alec: Yeah I am!

Aidan: No, you’re not, Alec!  Jesus is zero.  Are you zero?

Alec: No, I’m three (pronounced fwee, of course)!

Aidan: See, then you’re not as little as Jesus.  No one is as little as Jesus!

Alec: I’m a big, big, big, big boy.

Me: Actually guys, Jesus grew up and he’s a grown up now and he lives with God in heaven.

*silence*

I guess you can’t win ‘em every time…
