In Which I Attempt To Prove That God Does Not Poop

My 5 year old Julien has a million questions about God, Jesus and other spirit beings. He's particularly interested in understanding how God can exist but not have a body. I've tried to explain that God is like electricity or the wind. You can't see it, but it has power. It's invisible but you know it's there and you can feel it.

Whenever we get in the car and he knows I'm not distracted, he starts with the God questions.

"Mommy, could Jesus drive a car?"

No honey, he doesn't have a body so he couldn't really drive a car.

"Well, could God eat if he wanted to?"

No honey, God doesn't need to eat because he doesn't have a body. He wouldn't try to eat food. He doesn't need it.

"Mommy, does God have to go potty?"

At this point my 3 year old, who is an expert on spirit creatures, pipes in.

"Joo-yen, God has a spirit butt!"

At this point I am just about to spew my Starbucks. Then Julien replies quite emphatically:

"See Mom, God MUST have to go potty because everyone who has a butt has to go potty!"

Is this what he meant by "out of the mouth of babes?" LOL!

Maybe we'll all have spirit butts!

Hello! The first thing we're going to do is FEAST when we get to Heaven... what goes in must come out, right?
