Breaking Roofs or Talking to God

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another, 'almost too good to be true' story from our 5-year old questioner of everything. This one really left me scratching my head. I was literally, way out of my league. He wasn't, apparently.


So, we're on our way to visit my 93-year old grandfather who's been ailing for about a year now. My son asks me if he's still sick and I tell him the truth, 


"Yes, but he's still hanging in there." 


He looks at me and says, "Maybe he'll go to heaven soon, right?" I tell him only God knows that.


He says, "God can see everything from far, far away right?" I say yes.


The he says: "So how do people go up to heaven, do they break the roof or something?" I couldn't come up with an answer for that one, so I told him I didn't know.


He says, "Jesus might know. He sees far, far away too, right? Let me ask him... (He starts talking out loud): Jesus, Jesus, do you know, do you... Papi, I don't hear an answer. He doesn't hear me...

My grip on religious and metaphysical subjects is tenuous at best, so at that very moment, we arrived at my grandfather's house and I was able to change the subject. 


Thank God.
