Tonight we were saying bedtime prayers and this is somewhat how it went (I need to start recording what this kid says so I remember everything):
He first said his typical "Dear Jesus, thank you for my mom, thank you for my dad, and thank you for Cameron. Amen. Oh and I love you Jesus. Amen."
Last week in church they talked about the Phillipines and how the people there live in dangerous conditions, don't have clean water, etc., so we have been praying for them. Tonight we explained to Brayden that the kids there don't have toys to play with, and wouldn't he want to take some of the toys he doesn't play with anymore and send them to the kids there. He said, "No, I think I'll keep all of these toys." At first we were thinking that we had an extremely selfish child, but then he explained that he needed to keep his toys because they aren't "cool enough" for those kids so we should buy them new ones. Then he said that we should get them new houses and bring them to this town where it is not dangerous. Here is how the rest of the conversation with himself went:
"Hmm, but how would we get the house here? We could just build the house and pick it up and bring it here. But how would we carry it? I have an idea! A house truck! House trucks can fly. Well, maybe they can't, but helicopters can pick up things, so they can pick up house trucks! So we will build a house and put it on the house truck and the helicopter will bring it to this town and all the kids can live here and everyone will be safe"
If only it were that easy...
