“Mama, under the grass is dirt, right?”
“Right.”
“Dirt where the worms live?”
“Yes, where the worms live.”
“What’s under the dirt?”
“It’s different in different places. At our house there is sand and then clay, which is like hard play dough, and then there is water.
“Well what’s under all that?”
“Rock.”
“What’s under the rock?”
“More rocks.”
“Well, what’s under all the rocks?”
“There are lots and lots of rocks. The rocks go very, very deep under the ground. For miles and miles and miles. It’s farther than from here to St. Louis or even from here to Paris. That’s how deep the rocks go. And after that there is dirt again.”
Well, what’s under that dirt?”
“There is grass again and people on the grass. It’s the other side of the earth.”
“No, Mama, that’s not right cause the people will fall off. They’ll fall off if they are all the way on the bottom.”
“Ava, do you remember gravity? The gravity keeps them on the grass, just like the gravity keeps us on the grass right here. It’s the same on both sides.”
“But, but, Mama! Mama, how do dead people go up to Heaven if we put them under the dirt and the grass?
that is an incredible picture of your beautiful young lady.
Smart cookie that Ava! It was great to see you guys last night – I am sorry we didn’t get a chance to visit more. Anna was asking where Ava was this morning.
We’ll have to get together again another time…I know that Anna would love it! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
What a funny, smart girl! And a beautiful photo–if I’m not mistaken, one taken by Ms. Jennifer?
Yes, what a great photo of Ava! I think she should call Hank Hanegraaff, the Bible Answer Man, on his radio show. I heard him discussing this very thing with some callers today.
She’s lovely and brilliant.
Oh my. She’s a thinker!!! I bet that’s so entertaining and so exhausting at the same time
i love that. and she looks JUST like you in that picture. wow!
Sorry in advance, I can’t help myself… That’s Deep.
Gorgeous Picture!
