Tommy (6) - Andy, do you want to go to heaven?Andy (3) - Yeah.
Tommy - Then you have to do two things. You have to believe in Jesus, and you have to die. Do you believe in Jesus?
Andy - Yeah!
Tommy - Then you have to die. You die by keeping on bashing into things and crashing into stuff and falling from a long way and stuff like that.
Andy - I don't die yet!
Tommy - And if you don't believe in Jesus you go to hell and you have the baddest day ever.
Ben (9, giving the correct theological explanation) - It's not really a day, Tommy. It's the second death. First you die, and then you die again. It's eternity, not a day.
Andy - I do die. Everybody dies.
Tommy - Heaven is the funnest place ever.
Andy - Yeah.
Great stuff Jean! Your boys can come and teach my daughters—who will have plenty of questions to keep the conversation rolling along.
