JevInstincts

I think I know why guys like Art Linkletter spent their careers hanging around little kids: they really do say the darndest things.

The other day my four year old son was sitting on the crapper doing his business. "I'm done!" he yells. I go in to do my fatherly duty, and he says to me, "Dad, do you think God could turn me into a snake?"

I'm not sure where this is going, but I do know that when dealing with God, you have to be a tad careful about how you talk about the All Knowing. "Son, God can do anything he wants to, but I don't think he's going to turn you into a snake." He looked up at me, his face a study in concentration.

"I was praying for God to turn me into a snake, so I could go down the drain and get the car I dropped in toilet." Oh boy, I think to myself. How do I get out of this one? Rather than try, I use the age old parental trick of misdirection. "Hey, do you some of your Easter candy?"

He practically leaped of the toilet. I had to remind him that he wasn't quite ready to go ...

Kids, you gotta love 'em.
