Where is God?
A conversation with Gabe while sitting in the parking lot at Bruster's and eating ice cream:
Gabe: Where's God?
Beth: We can't see him, but he's everywhere. He's right here in the car with us.
Gabe: Where is he?
Van: He's really big. He's at our house. He's in Bruster's. He's at Jaden's house. He's here in the car.
Gabe: No, he's not. It's just us.
Van: Well, we can't see him.
Gabe: Is he under your belly?
And just how would you answer that one???
As we were leaving the house, he asked, "Where's da yarn?" We don't have a clue what the yarn is. He's been talking about this thing for several months now, and best we can figure, it's something he saw in a dream that really scared him. He always wants to know where it is and to see it, especially at night, and it is apparently out in the yard somewhere. When we first heard about the yarn, Sa-sa had scared it off -- again, we assume this was part of the dream. Since then, we have been trying to figure out what it is and to give him some comfort so he won't be scared. So, we asked him what the yarn looks like. Here's how that conversation went:
V: What does the yarn look like?
G: It's not real. It's just fertend.
V: OK, but in pretend, what does it look like?
G: It doesn't wook wike inafing.
B: What color is it?
G: Uhhh...I guess it's gween.
V: What does it do?
G: It goes, "ARRRR"!
Still not much closer to knowing the nature of the yarn.
