Deep Thoughts By Chase

I don't know about anyone else, but bed time tends to be the time my kids like to talk (and generally thats the time I'm DONE talking, and just need some peace and quiet!)  The other night, I went in to tuck Chase in and the questions just poured out...

"Who made the rule that you have to wear garments?"

"Where do you buy them?"

"So, you just need to go buy some right before you go to the temple?"

"When I decide to ask someone to marry me, are we supposed to kiss when she says yes?"

"What if she doesn't want to get married in the temple, but I do?"

"So, I just break up with her if she won't?"

"What if we decide to get married in the temple, and I'm there waiting for her but when she's in the car her mom and dad call her and say that all of her friends are at the house, and they want her to get married there?"

"What if we get married and have kids, but then she wants to break up, but I don't.  Then while I'm sleeping she just leaves and takes the kids?  What would I do when I woke up?"  (I didn't have any answer for this one except, "you'd get right on your knees and ask Heavenly Father to help you")"

"Mom, that would really break my heart"

ME:  "Chase, all you need to worry about is who you're going to play with tomorrow"

Seriously.  I know its important to communicate with your kids, but these questions are just way to heavy for me.  I'm sure he felt much better, but I went to bed with all sorts on anxiety!

Oh, and one last thing...a couple of weeks ago I was driving him to basketball, and he said,

"Mom, there's just one thing that I really really really want to know.  If I knew who made Heavenly Father, then I wouldn't have to worry about that anymore.  I wish I just knew.  Then I could tell other people.  Like, if he was made from dust, where did the dust come from?"

I really could write a book of all the things Chase talks and thinks about, I wish I remembered all of it.  He brings so much joy and excitement into our home.  LOVE HIM!!
