Did God dump out a box of birds?

While we are driving to Karate class, I never know what questions I will be asked by my 4 year old.  Here is a sample of some of the questions from one trip.

• Dad, can you sit on rainbows?
• Dad, are those clocks real? (He was referring to the instrument cluster on the dashboard of the vehicle.)
• Dad, is the engine running? (While we are driving 65 down the road.) Dad, I don't hear the engine running.
• 4 year old:  Dad, are we there yet? I'm tired of driving.  Dad:  You mean, tired of riding?  4 year old:  No, I'm really tired of driving.
• Dad, what book are you reading now?  What's happening in your book?
• Dad, why are there lights on poles?  (Referring to the street lamps)
• Dad, when God made birds, did he just dump out a box of birds and make them? (This is usually what happens daily with his toys. :-)

You never quite know what the next question is going to be when he starts to speak.  Each conversation is an adventure.  I am thoroughly enjoying each moment that I am able to spend with my kids.  They are a truly a blessing to me.
