about my religion! I decided this after my three-year-old stumped me today.
**please keep in mind that it is 8 o'clock at night, and we have spent the entire day shopping at six different stores (quite a feat with three kids) and ended the night at a party at Peter Piper Pizza where the Boy spent all night alternating between screaming for Daddy and screaming for a bottle (we're trying to kick the habit); can you say exhausted?**
Pip: Mom, I'm gonna be a mom too.
Me: Yup
Pip: Why did Heavenly Father make you a mom?
Me: So I could have you.
Pip: Why did He make Daddy a Dad?
Me: So he could have you too.
Pip: Why did He make Porter a baby?
Me: We all start off that way.
Pip: No (incredulous)
Me: I was a baby once and so was Daddy.
Pip: Really? (How did she not know that?)
Me: Sure thing. And so were you and Adi.
Pip: How did he make us?
Me: Uhhh....
Pip: With magic?
Me: Not magic...
Pip: Yeah, with a wand!
Me: No sweetie, Heavenly Father made us because He can. (Real clever, I know)
Pip: But how?
Me: We're home, do you have your balloon?
Luckily, Piper is easily distracted. How would you have answered that?

Who's to say Pipers wrong, we are but mere mortals, and I belive it was magic for us at least. Maybe not with a magic wand, but who knows maybe it was.

Me and Piper live in a magical little world, Thats my girl
that's hilarious! She sure is a cutie!
OOHH!! I got a good one: It is kind of like magic fairy dust, you need a special power to see it. God has special building materials he uses to make each of us. He has to start small and work up, that's why we start small and get bigger. God created little DNA molecules that can have millions of different combinations. Depending upon how he puts them together, makes us who we are, how we act, love, live and believe. I am a firm believer in this. Only God could've built something that complex. and just like magic fairy dust--you need special light to see it. :)
I had to read through that 3 times to understand it! But that is an excellent thing to tell her... the more complex the answer the more likely they'll let the subject drop. Now to memorize that...
