Kate: Does Jesus live in the sky?
Me: No, that's God and he lives in Heaven.
Kate: Oh...well, where does Jesus live?
Me: Jesus lives in your heart.
Kate: What? He's in my heart???
Me: Yes, say you believe in Jesus, he comes and lives in your heart.
Kate: I don't see him in there.
Me: Just because you don't see him doesn't mean he's there.
Kate: Can he hear me?
Me: Yes, he can hear you talk to him. Jesus and God are really good at listening.
Kate: Huh... Well, if he's in my heart, how does he eat dinner?

And I couldn't help but smile. I didn't have an answer that at the time wasn't overly complicated. Yes, there are moments as a parent when your child will triumph with a question that you can't answer. And this is mine.
What are some questions your kids have asked that had you stumped in the moment?

I love that!!! She is just darling!
My kiddo already started with the "where do the baby lambs come from" thing... and finally he decided the momma's tummy POPS. Yeah, I left it at that :)
Thanks for playing along - this was priceless!
Thank you Rachel! Kate definitely keeps my husband and I on our toes, we've always got to be 2 steps a head of her :)
This morning she was asking me about "heart beeps" and "heart ache". More on that next! :)
