A Gift from Heaven

A conversation with Reagan as we were parking at Home Depot:

Reagan (holding a Christmas book I bought for him last year): Santa gave me this book.

Me: No, Mommy bought you that book.

Reagan: Santa brought it to me.

Me: (not wanting to argue) Oh, ok.

Reagan: Where did it come from?

Me: (didn't hear him very well) Where did you come from? Or where did the book come from?

Reagan: Where did I come from?

Me: Mommy's belly.

Reagan: (laughing) No, I didn't.

Me: Yes you did. You came from Mommy's belly, and I'll be reminding you of that for the rest of your life.

Reagan: I didn't come from your belly, Mommy. I came from heaven.

David and I looked at each other in shock and awe.

Me: Yes. You came from heaven, and God put you in my belly.

Reagan: I came from heaven, and God put me in your belly.

Me: Right.

  1. Haha! David seemed to like the cake. I had one bite, and I thought it was way too sweet. The cake stayed at my in-laws after we left, so I don't know if it is being eaten or if it made its way to the trash.

  2. Too sweet.

    And now you can tell him that he has blessed you with a "little piece of heaven", right here on earth :)
