God has a special place

November 27th, 2006 by carl

In the annals of “things I hope I don’t do as a parent”:

The other day, a six-year-old asked Karissa where the baby was going to come out. Reasonable question, and she got about two words into a reasonable answer before the kid’s mother jumped in to shuffle him off in another direction, with “God has a special place for that.”

Hmm. Kid, file that one away for future reference: God is a crutch grownups use when they’re trying to avoid being honest with you.
