The Mind of my 7 year old Boy...

A few days ago I was talking to Aaron, and he was telling me all the places all over the world he wants to go see. He wants to go to Japan and Africa and Canada (?) and Hawaii and wanted to know when he could get a passport.

I told him that he could get one as soon as he had enough money to go visit all those places.

To which he said that he thought he would go as soon as he was bigger and was a dad.

I asked him if he was traveling all the time, then who was going to work and make the money to support his wife and kids so they would have a nice place to live and food to eat.

He told me that he thought his wife wouldn't mind working since he would be so busy travelling.

I asked him who would watch the kids if his wife was working.

He told me that he would watch them until he had to get on the plane, and then maybe Grandma (me?) would take them.

He then wanted to know if I had a passport.

No, I don't. But Daddy used to, when he went to Australia- and Uncle John had one when he went to South Africa for his mission.

At this point Aaron starts giggling uncontrollably.

I ask him what's so funny.

He tells me that I must be joking-that they don't need missionaries in Africa.

I asked him why not.

Between giggles he answers: "Because everybody knows that everyone in Africa is naked- and you can't go to church naked, so they must not have churches in Africa. "

What do you say to that? Evidently he has all the answers to every problem. (even if they are crazy...)

Heaven help his future bride, and heaven help me prepare him...
