is your God edible?

"how do you know when I need to blow my nose?"

"because I'm your mom"

"moms know everything?"

"moms know a lot of things. only God knows everything."

"but God doesn't talk"

"that's because God speaks to your heart"

"but... I didn't eat him?!!"

Natalie calls that whole "mom knows everything" thing "Mommy Magic." I guess I must have told her that's what it was at some point, I truly don't remember but it's sweet, isn't it?

That's too funny, b/c I tell my boys the same thing, "I know everything!" Hee hee.

That is really cute! The other day my daughter asked if God knows we have a Christmas tree even though we're Jewish. I told her yes that He knows and he's fine with it. Then she told me that her teacher Esther isn't fine with it and that's why it's a secret. (=

That's cute. I admit that sometimes when my girls ask why they have to do as I say, I tell them they have to because I am the queen.

There is a little girl in our church who insists that Jesus and Santa Claus live in her tummy! So there is that - she's pretty confident about it, too! :) Love this conversation.
