- why do forklifts have wheels instead of tracks, like bulldozers?
- why doesn't the moon fall out of the sky?
- how does nighttime turn into daytime?
- why does the sun glow all the time?
- when daddy went in his big airplane allllllll the way up in da sky, did he almost hit God? Why doesn't God fall out of heaven and break his arm?
- why does everyone die?
- Why are there different sizes of screws and screwdrivers? Why aren't they all the same size?
he also told me to "keep my eyes peeled for skunks, because they are NOT friendly."
It wasn't even 9 am yet, and I was attempting to explain mechanics, gravity, astronomy, death, and theology to my preschooler on our 12 minute car ride. His little mind is so absorbent and curious and I love it! (I also find myself quite stumped sometimes, too.)
Also, I have been reading the catechisms to J at lunch recently, and in the book, there are 107 questions that deal with God as our Creator and man's fallen state of sin.
The 1st question is:
-What is the chief end of man? The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
the 2nd question:
- What rule hath God given to direct us how we may glorify and enjoy Him? The Word of God which is contained in the Scriptures in the New and Old Testaments is the only rule to direct us how we may glorify and enjoy Him.
and so on and so on.
So we read through some of the questions each day at lunch. One day last week, as I was getting the catechisms out, Jasper said, "Momma. I understand nuffin' of da words you say when you's read dat book. Nuffin'."
Oh my. So honest and so cute!
