My 9-year-old: We are Aliens (& other Deep Thoughts)

March 7, 2018 Bedtime Questions

Son: Mommy, you know the other night I was trying to ask…I can’t quite explain it…

Mom: You mean, when you asked if God loves people on other planets the same as us?

Son: Well, I mean (thinks a while)…do you think aliens on other planets know about God, and can worship God?

Mom: Yes, they sure do.

Son: I don’t like to call them aliens (makes a face).

Mom: What would you call them?

Son: Umm (thinks) Normal Creatures of the Universe….let’s see…NCOTU - Nicotoos! heeheeehee

Or EBs…"Equal Beings”

Do you think they know more about God than we do?

Mom: Yes, many do. And some may not know about God as much as we do. But everyone can know God in their hearts, the same. We’ll never know everything about God, but we can still know God.

Son: We’re the aliens to them…
They probably think we look weird, and have a weird language. ‘Cuz they probably speak with telepathy and don’t even have a mouth, or a nose…and just go like this (makes eyes really wide and cocks head like he’s intensely observing all around)…giggle

Mom: Goodnight, alien wierdo!
