Ben and His Theological Musings

For those of you who appreciated Ben's desire for a cow on his head, I thought I would write down this conversation before it slipped my mind.
We were driving to the grocery store this morning after a brief sighting of one of Ben's favourite babysitters, Anne-Marie. He asked me the following:
"Why is Anne-Marie so happy?"
I quickly responded and, yes, my answer was pat, "Because God loves her."
"So God and Jesus love her." I didn't think it wise to get into the mystery of the Trinity at this point so I just left him at that. But, he kept going.
"Why does God love her?"
"He loves us all because He made us."
"So, God likes me?"
"Yes, Ben, He does." I was beginning to feel a little chuffed at Ben's interest in the things of God.
"I don't like that God likes me."
"What?!!"
And then in a classic Ben voice (void of all enthusiasm) he let out a great sigh and said, "I wish I had a giraffe."
And that, dear reader, is where we left it.
