Conversations with my children

Posted on October 17, 2005December 4, 2019 by Paul Armstrong

So I went solo bed time with the kiddo’s tonight and here are some of the strange and random things we talked about.

Elliott: “Why did God make people? Why did God have to rest? Does He like beds and sleepy time and warm under the covers like me?’

Daddy/Me: “I bet He does. He made us to love those things, so I bet He likes to cuddle up under the covers sometimes too.”

Elliott: “Yeah. I think he does.”


Abigail: “Today I learned about echolocation — do you know what that is daddy?”

Daddy/Me: “No, why don’t you tell me”

Abigail: “Bats have echolocation because they can\’t see. They send off these sounds waves that bounce off things and come back to them that tell them what it is. Like a house. They wouldn’t eat a house. But a moth, they’d eat a moth. So the sound waves tell them that something is big or small.”

Daddy/Me: “Wow. Are you sure you’re in first grade?”
