From the 5-year-old department
I hate to say it, but our 5-year-old is so sweet when he’s sick:
“Dad, why is God still making me throw up?” (This after having prayed for healing an hour ago when he last threw up.)
“God isn’t making you throw up,” I reply. “Your tummy is trying to throw up food that it thinks is yucky. You and I know that there’s no more food in it, but your stomach doesn’t know that.”
“Oh,” he says. “It’s like how the computer doesn’t know Shockwave is installed even though it is.”
A pretty good analogy for 5 a.m.
