“Who?”
my daughter asks, as I’m half listening.
“Because,”
I mumble and grab another shirt off the pile and start folding it.
A little hand pulls at my sleeve. “I asked who,
Mama.”
I
put down the shirt and look at her. “Who what?”
“Who
made God?” Her eyes look at me, waiting for an answer.
I
shrug. “I don’t know. Go ask Him.”
She
seems to reflect inward for a moment. “Oh! Okay,” she says.
“Okay
what?” I ask; my curiosity piqued.
She
shrugs. “He says time doesn’t mean anything to Him.” With that my daughter left the laundry room
with me staring after her.
*Of all my stories for this A to Z challenge, this

Great story, have a good week-end.

This is a really cute story--I love that it's true.
ReplyDeleteI find the concept of 'time' very intriguing. We're always in a hurry, trying to beat the clock. But does it really mean anything? I love your story-more so that it's true. :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE, love, love this! How precious. And I am so happy it's a true story.
ReplyDeleteOut of the mouth of babes. They are closer to heaven than adults.

ReplyDeleteAnd completely awesome ...
ReplyDeleteA perfect example of a child's refreshing innocence...

Funny, yet profound.
ReplyDeleteOut of the mouths of babes....
ReplyDeleteThis happens to me all the time, only half listening because I'm in the middle of something.
ReplyDeleteAh, this is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBingo! So this was non-fiction? It certainly reads as delightfully plausible.

Kids do say the darndest things, for sure :)
ReplyDeleteLovely that this is the true one!
ReplyDeleteI love when children say things that leave me in complete awe. This story captures the magic of being a child, indeed. Lovely!

That's a cute story.
ReplyDeleteI think kids have a "direct connection". Sometimes the things they say are quite profound!
ReplyDeleteLove how philosophical discussions can be reduced to such straightforward conversations. Now I'm going to be pondering this all day :-)
ReplyDeleteKids have a knack of asking the most headscratching questions, don't they? Sometimes I think we'd better off without the concept of time.
ReplyDeleteSo funny. Kids are so cool....
ReplyDeleteMakes it all the more curious that the story is true.
ReplyDeletelove this! So cute and funny!!

What a wise child! She asked and received an answer.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's good!
ReplyDeleteOh, little kids are amazing, aren't they? So simple and innocent. Loved this story.
ReplyDeleteIt's so realistic. It's like talking to the cheshire cat.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter asked a great question!
ReplyDeleteOf all your entries, this one is my favorite! I love children's unquestioning, blind, pure faith!
ReplyDeleteGood answer ;)
ReplyDeleteInteresting dialogue here. My curiosity is piqued, as it seems there's no way to know what the heck she got from your answer and where she took it. :) Writer’s Mark
