“Happy Birthday, Ethan.”

My editor was shocked at the presents we placed on her chair for Ethan, who turns 5 today. She thanked us for thinking of him.

“Yesterday he asked me to take him to Heaven,” she said.

“What?!” cried we at the office. “Whatever prompted that?” I asked.

“We were reading about Jesus. And so he asked me to take him there.”

"What did you say?"

"I said, you'll only go when it's time."

"And did he follow up with 'when is the time?'"

"Nope. He just asked me when I would be going."

Kids really say the darnest things!
