Conversation of a godless family
Jada: Looking at Appa's leftover flap where his nutts used to live "Ooh, look at that mommy. It's all red."
Me: "Yea that's from his operation."
Jada: "You mean the one so he doesn't make any babies?"
Me: "Yea. There's too many puppies around that nobody wants so we can't make anymore babies. Bullet had the same operation too."
Jada starts thinking really hard about something and then ...
Jada: "Who's that guy you said made the animals and the grass and all the stuff?"
Me: I had only mentioned god once to her so I was surprised... "You mean God?"
Jada: "Yea. How did he make all that stuff?"
Me: Completely unversed in this god stuff but not wanting to say something wrong.. "he just said 'let there be dogs' and there were dogs. and 'let there be cats' and there was cats."
I think she was trying compare how dogs make a baby with a flap (and she doesn't know about sex yet) and how "that guy" made animals out of thin air. In other words, she was trying to put a square peg into a round hole. I'll have to ask her what her Jada logic has decided on.
