Deep questions from a 6 year old

I think they were meant to be very serious questions shysal but I admit they do sound quite funny. I am really looking forward to finding out the answers from Miss. (she that knows everything)

DS age 5, getting off tube train: "Who made God?"

DD aged 4, when very ill: "Why doesn't god make me better?"

DS aged 4: I understand that God made the universe, but who made God? Sadly couldnt find my copy of the Ladybird Book of Metaphysics and Philosophy.

DS aged about four: How does the moon stay up in the sky?

gillybob I am afraid they are quite reasonable questions. She is pondering further on every answer you gave her.

It shows she is listening. You had better brush up on Philosophy and Theology ASAP before the next round.

Yes Nelliemoser they were asked very seriously but I have to laugh at the thought of God starting his own business in creating the universe.

I look forward to the next round this weekend. She is really into "God" at the minute.

I love the idea of God facing his empty desk and new sharp pencil and pad and telephone, thinking 'Where do I start?'.

DD3 - at the age of four asked "what is water made of?". Hydrogen and oxygen didn't really cut the mustard as an answer

GS1 aged 7 *how do planes stay in the sky?" Daddy teaches the theory of flight!!! Why is he asking me about it???

I always feel the shorter the answer you give, the better for all concerned.It's no good giving an answer that they don't understand easily.Or giving an answer that may scare them.
Questions about God/death etc I leave to the parents [who may well have told them something different.]

The thing is with my son and DiL rosesarered they would have no doubt told DGD to "ask grandma".

I loved reading about your conversations gillybob, they raised a smile.

I got the usual 'why is grass green', 'what makes the sky blue' but the one that still makes me smile was when we were driving past a big factory complex out in the countryside somewhere and great plumes of steam were billowing out of the chimney stacks, my daughter, aged about 6 at that time, said 'is that where clouds are made'

Taking a walk in the countryside with assorted members of the family, DS age about 7 asks "Do policemen get a good pension when they retire". This came from out of the blue and my sister could barely conceal her amusement. He was seriously thinking about his future. He didn't join the force when he left uni. He's now head of housekeeping in a small local hotel.
