Life's Biggest Questions

We drove down to NM to spend some time with my parents and the ENTIRE trip was filled with questions from G. Literally he asked questions the whole time! It was super cute, but I have to admit I was so drained by the end of the 9 hour trip! It was just he and I in the car so I had no back up support! Most of his questions didn't have a simple answer, so they always had follow up questions!! Here the compiled list of questions that I could remember, since there was so many!

"Mom, why is the sky blue"

"Mom if Jesus is so strong how come He didn't just beat all the bad guys up so they didn't kill him?"

"How come the hot lava doesn't melt the volcano?"
"What is after space?"
Me: "More space"
"But what is after that space?"
Me: "More space"
"Mom there has to be something after space, so what is it?"
(Had no clue how to answer this question so I changed the subject"
"Is there a real spiderman world? I think he is real, but I just don't know where he lives."
"Why did God make sharks? They eat people. Why would he make sharks that eat people?"
"Why do babies cry so much. I don't ever want a little sister or little brother because they would just cry and mess up all my toys. Mom, do you want a little brother or sister?"
"Why is daddy always so funny? He is always making me laugh."
"Mom, what do you think Heaven will look like?"
"Mom, don't you just love Nate, I miss him so much"
"Do you think Babie and Pop are just waiting for me to get there?"
"Why do you go to school all the time?"
"Why doesn't God answer my prayers? I have prayed and prayed that my web shooters would start working, and they never do. It makes me so sad"
(This question actually made me sad...do I crush his dreams of becoming spidey? Or do I crush his spirit that sometimes God doesn't answer our prayers the way we want him to?"
There were literally countless more but this is all I could remember. Oh how I love his inquiring mind, even if it is a bit draining :)
