These days, the kids are very big into God and how he made the Earth and where Heaven is and what it's all about . In fact, a couple of days ago we had a very interesting conversation about creation and Adam and Eve! And then there was this incident after Easter... But this is the conversation we had on the way home from a friend's house today:
Matt: Do you get to take everything with you to Heaven when you die?
Me: I'm pretty sure everything you need is up in Heaven; food, all of your favorite things to do, it's the happiest place to be.
Matt: Are you hungry in Heaven?
Me: Umm... I'm not sure. I don't think so, I think you eat because you just like to.
Jill [rolling her eyes]: Maa-att, just ask God.
Matt [ignoring Jillian]: How old is Jesus?
Me: He's 2,010 years old (I know, I know... He's technically what? 33+2010? 2043? but Matt put me on the spot with that one).
Matt: Woah.
Jill [said with the utmost conviction]: Mom, we need a beanstalk. We need to grow a beanstalk, and then it'll grow, grow, grow up to the clouds, and we can climb up, up, up to the clouds and see Heaven.
