God & Jesus are everywhere... literally!

GET OUT, FISH BONE!

This happened some time in July but I forgot to note it till now. We were having cod fish for lunch and BP reminded Livi to be careful of bones, coz should it get into her system, the bone may travel to her heart and cause her to die. It was quite a duh story but our lil one was totally taken in. As she continued to munch, she suddenly said, 'But Jesus will push and push it out right?' We weren't sure what she was saying but on probing further, finally understood.

Mom must have been telling her that Jesus is in her heart. And coz of that, she thinks that should a foreign object like a fish bone get into her heart, surely Jesus who lives there will help to get rid of the object, right?

GOD, ARE YOU THERE?

Livi was doing her Shichida worksheets when she started singing some children hymns and asked me where God is. I told her God's everywhere. And that's when she asked if He's in the lamp, our laptops, on our heads, inside Daddy's ears, and also in her box of colour pencils. When I answered yes, she promptly called out to her colour pencils, 'Hi God, are you there??'

Kapow!

I was reading Livi a Chinese book and the picture showed a lion falling onto a rock and disloding the bad tooth that's been giving him a toothache. The picture showed the 'kapow!' kind of graphic where the lion hit the rock, to illustrate the impact of the fall and probably, the sound too.

After asking all the usual questions about like why does the lion's tooth hurt; why did he fall; did he not see the rock etc, she asked what the 'kapow' graphic was?

It's funny how we adults don't give much attention to things like this anymore. So I explained that this is to show that the lion must had fallen very hard and made a very loud sound.

"But mommy, where is it? How come we cannot see this when we fall?" It's interesting how they think right? So I went on to explain that in reality, we cannot actually 'see sound'. But this is cartoon so that's why they illustrate this for children.

After that, we experimented by saying different things, sometimes loudly and sometimes softly, to see whether we see any such graphics. Well, we didn't of coz but what a fun conversation that was with my lil darling!
