Mr. Thinker ...

I overheard C talking from behind me, as we were driving to the library yesterday. 'I wonder if God formed Ukki's new body yet. I don't know ... I think He probably has.' :)

And today: 'Mom, I know why God makes people.' Me, 'Do you? Why?' C, 'So they can live in heaven when they die.'

He's a thinker! A couple of our other kids have also gone through a phase where they really think lots about God, heaven, dying, etc. I remember Miss M going through a phase where she very often commented how she just can't wait until she dies so she can fly! The first times she talked like that, I got a little nervous, wondering if this is a premonition of what's to come. But she has long since passed that phase, and she's still with us! :)

Our oldest was ... maybe 4 y.o. (not older) when he was pondering deeply, and then asked, 'If God made everything good, then who made bad music?'

We had a story on cd around that same time-frame (N a 4 y.o. and T 3 y.o.) - and there was first the 'theme song' which was pretty bouncy. T was horrified that we had that 'bad music' and eventually said, 'Let's just throw that cd in the garbage.' N rather liked the cd, so he said, 'Maybe we should just put it in the back of the closet, and if God decides some day that that music is okay, we can take the cd out again and listen to it!' :)

Those are a few ... I should try think of some more from the older (and middle) kids!

Check the toilet seat!

You know you live in a house full of guys when one of the gals writes a note (reminder for herself?) and puts it in the bathroom for future reference:

Mr. C (6 y.o.) has had a runny nose ever since school started. I have been wondering if there is mold in the very old building where his Kindergarten class is in. He's now taking allergy medicine, just to see if it helps. A couple days ago some of his older sibs were frying eggs for evening snack, and he told me that it is probably actually eggs he's allergic to, not mold. Then said that he must be allergic to them, anyway, because he doesn't like the taste of them at all! :)

Wish I still heard the 'cute' sayings from the other kids, but they're already past that 'phase', for the most part. So one more from Mr. C. (Posted on fb already, but since this is something I'll probably print as a keepsake one day, I'll write it here, too!) While eating breakfast one morning, he said that kids don't belong to any people, they belong to God. God created everyone, so kids are all God's kids. How does a little mind think so deeply? :)
