Like many people, many deep conversations take place in the car while driving. My 5 year old is no exception to this. It amazes me what she comes up with to discuss while we are driving. In just a 10 minute drive from school yesterday she came up with these.
B: Mom? Why does God make bad things?
me: God doesn't make bad things. People choose to DO bad things.
B: Why does He let us choose to bad things?
me: Because He gave us the ability to choose. When we do bad things that means we are listening to the Devil not God.
B: Well why would God want us to listen to the Devil?
me: He doesn't. He wants us to listen to Him and be good.
B: Like Santa?
Me: Something like that, yes.
Another set of logic...
B: Why does Santa think crying is naughty?
Me: What are you talking about?
B: In the song on the radio...You better not cry, you better not pout...
Me: You know I have no idea I never thought about it like that. I guess it is crying like when you whine.
B: Oh, I guess that would be naughty then. It is not naughty to cry when you are hurt, right? because then you are sad.
Me: Right again.
All these thoughts in just 10 minutes. Who would believe it?
