The Not So Fun Questions of 4 Year Olds


The deep questions have started coming from our 4 year olds...

"Are we going to die?"
me: yes, every one dies, and then we get to go to Heaven and be with God, but hopefully it's not soon

"Jesus is in heaven, but he's alive?"
me: yes, that's right (silence is golden)

"How did the doctor cut me out of your tummy?"
me: with a very sharp knife called a scalpel, but not all baby's are cut out, it's just because you wouldn't come out the normal way (oops I said too much)
"How does a baby normally come out?"
me: (ya, we actually had that talk... and then I added some stuff about these things being private things to only talk about with Mommy, Daddy, and the doctor.)

"How does a baby get in Mommy's tummy?"
me: God puts babies in the Mommy's tummy (theologically correct, the whole "God knit me in my mother's womb" verse)

Oh ya, fun times... thankfully they are satisfied with simple answers for the moment.
