Deep Thoughts

...by Wyatt. ;)

On Saturday at our family birthday party for him, Wyatt asked his great-grandma if she would still "be around" when he is "as old as Pop Pop" (his great-grandpa).

The other day in line at the grocery store he asked me if he could stay awake all day and all night in heaven. I said yes. He said, "But not on the earth, cause our bodies need sleep". Pause. "Will our bodies be as big as God's in heaven?"

And on the way home from a friend's house, "When girls marry boys, do the boys have the babies? I know that when boys marry girls the girls have the babies, but what about when girls marry boys? Do the babies get in the boy's bellies? Cause having babies is the only reason to get married..."

Today it was finally nice out, so we were having a "picnic" on the deck. I asked him why he was making a particular face, and he said, "I'm trying to figure out why it's so hard for kids to listen to their parents." Pause. "It's like when I ask you to go outside and you tell me 'No'. That doesn't make any sense to me." When I told him I didn't understand, he said, "You should say, 'No, because its too cold, or something, not just 'No'."

Hahaha, I have no idea where he comes up with this stuff. He is a thinker.
