"Any fool knows men and women think differently at times, but the biggest difference is this. Men forget, but never forgive; women forgive, but never forget."— Robert Jordan

I've never had so much fun talking about religion!

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.
