in the sky...

i forgot to post this when it happened, but it was just to cute to let slip by. the other day we were driving to my parents house and eli was looking out his window and suddenly said, "there he is! i see him!" "who?" i asked. "God!" he said. i asked him what he looked like, he said he didn't know. i told him that God looks a lot like him and me. "and daddy and papa and grandma and yiwa(lyla)?" he asked. "yes" i told him. he thought for a minute and said, "i think God would like to pet yiwa in her jeans." (it was her first day in jeans, which obviously made an impression).
i was telling this to my friend sharon when her 5 year old boy collin said, "i don't think it was God...maybeeee...it was...a parachuter or something. but if you see someone coming down from the sky like this (putting his hand up in the air and bringing it slowly to the ground) around Christmas time, that's Jesus." all so matter-o-fact. it would be so grand to be able to live inside a kids head for a day.
