I got such a kick out of this that I had to post it.
The other day, I was outside in the yard with my four year old son (we were "sword fighting"). He looked up at the sky, pointed, and said "See, God is up there". I thought this would be a good time to remind him of a couple of his catechism questions so I asked him, "Where is God?" He replied with the correct answer "God is everywhere". Then I asked him, "Can you see God?" He replied, "No -- I cannot see God, but He can always see me."
I then tried to explain to him that God wasn't just up in the sky but that he is everywhere and can see us no matter where we're at or what we're doing. I told him that God could see us when we were outside and He could also see us when we're inside the house. My boy replied "Yeah, everytime we walk past a window, God can see us."
Anyone else have a cute/funny story concerning the teaching/training of children?
