April 18, 2011: Kids say...philosophical stalling

Setup: It's after bedtime. Melanie (4) has gotten up to use the bathroom. This is one of several stalling techniques she's employed at this point.

Melanie: Can God see us even when we potty?
Andy [not an exact transcript]: Well, sweetie. God can see everybody all the time. I don't think God is staring at you while you potty, but God *is* everywhere. You can talk to God anytime you want. Some people even pray on the potty, because they're alone with God. [I then steered conversation to prayer, which is something that is often done in bed... which is where you're supposed to be right now... please wash your hands and get back to bed.]
