Heavenly

Recent afternoon conversation over coloring books and dirty dishes:

Blessing #3: I’m coloring a heaven picture. God’s castle is in heaven. I’m coloring the plants in front of the castle yellow.

Monkey Moma: Are they golden plants?

Blessing #2: There are streets of gold in heaven…

B#3: God’s castle is going to be yellow, too. A golden yellow castle.

B#2: Maybe you should color a golden witch on your picture of heaven.

MM: What? Why would he want to draw a witch on his heaven picture?

B#2: Because coins are golden.

MM: (looking quite perplexed) Huh…?

B#2: (very patiently explaining the obvious “duh” moment to MM) Lots of golden coins make you a witch, mom.

MM: Huh?.... (short silence)Oh…. No, not witch... rich! Lots of golden coins make you rich!

B#2: (giggles) Oh…!

B#3: I colored God’s present. I’m coloring God now. He’s who made us. That’s why I’m coloring His shirt pink!
