Dad: Do you want to listen to this band daddy likes? They're called Noah and the Whale.
The Boy: Sure. But why are they called Noah and the Whale? That's not the story. It should be Jonah.
D: You're right. I guess maybe they're just being silly.
TB: Nah, I don't think so. It doesn't sound silly to me.
D: Well, maybe they're being ironic.
TB: Yeah...probably.

Marble Jar
Mom: Thank you for being such a good boy this month.
The Boy: You're welcome, Mommy.
Mom: See how fast your marble jar fills up when you are a good boy? Aren't you so excited to have your new fish?
The Boy: Yeah. Mama? The next time I fill up my marble jar, can I have a brother or sister?
Mom: Well, it's a little more complicated than that, baby. Mama might not be able to have another baby.
The Boy: Mom, all we have to do is go to one of those places that have kids that don't have mommies or daddies. You know, like in Annie? I think it's called the pound or somethin. Can we please get one the next time I fill my marble jar? Please?!

Theology
Mom: Please don't bang your head on the chair. Your body is a Temple of God. [said for sheer desperation for him to STOP banging his head]
The Boy: What is a Temple of God, Mama?
Mom: It's a place where God lives. [If I was theologically inaccurate, I apologize to you scholars. :)]
The Boy: Why is our body called the Temple of God?
Mom: Well, because He lives in...
The Boy: Our hearts. Mom, He lives in all of our hearts. There is only one God, but He's big enough to live in everyone's heart.
