Driving home at dusk, the street lights are on. There are a few clouds in the darkening sky.
Jonah says:
There are two eyes in the sky.
There is someone in the sky and he is saying something.
God is in the sky.
God is NOT Santa Claus.
What is God?

I cannot recall any time I have ever discussed God with Jonah, so I’m a bit perplexed, to say the least. I try several times to get him to tell me whom he has been discussing God with, but I don’t get anywhere near an answer.
I do learn these things from discussing God with him, in a question/answer sort of way: God is in the car, God is in the BART tracks, God is not in Jonah or Mommy, God is not love. God is a cat.

He also informed me today that he is “too little to like skulls. Skulls are not good. Skulls are scary.” I find this incredibly surprising. I ask him where he got this idea and he tells me the name of a boy at preschool.
Later, he tells me he is too big for skulls.
So at least he’s open to two sides of the story?
