Oscar asks the big questions

I knew it would happen. I knew Oscar would eventually start asking me questions I can’t begin to answer. A few from tonight:

Oscar: Is God really small?

Me: Some people think so. Other people think he’s really big.

Oscar: Where God lives?

Me: Um.

Oscar: Why no one has seen God?

Me: Um.

Oscar: Why God’s invisible?

Me: Maybe he doesn’t want people to see him.

Oscar: Why he doesn’t want people to see him?

Me: Maybe it’s a test to see if people can believe in him, even if they can’t see him, like Santa Claus.

Oscar: I believe in Santa Claus. But I don’t know what God’s like.

Me: Me too.

Oscar: Why some people think God’s big and some people think God’s small?

Me: Um.

Oscar: But a long time I know Santa Claus. I knowed Santa Claus all the time (translation: I’ve known that Santa dude all my life). I can guess Santa Claus but I can’t guess God.
