The BIG question

This is an exact transcript of a conversation I just had with TPG. He asked me the first question and I immediately started writing down what he was saying cause I knew it would be good. I am totally fearful of the day my kids start asking me real questions about babies, how they are made, how they get out... you get the picture. Right now they think Jesus puts babies into a mom's belly and then it just "pops" out. I am not about to explain how wrong they are. Just no need to go there. TPG is already appalled when he sees TTG and I show any kind of affection even if it is just a quick kiss. He says that we already had our honeymoon so we should not kiss anymore. Imagine what he will say when he learns where babies come from-ugh. But, I was completely not prepared for this line of questioning I got from him when he got off the bus today. I think I may be excommunicated from the Catholic Church for how I answered his questions. Oh well. Here it is:


TPG:I am curious about dinosaurs and god.
Me: Ok, what?
TPG: Um, were dinosaurs the first people on earth? Really? Or was God first?
Me: God was first
TPG: But everyone says dinosaurs were first on earth. I think dinosaurs were the first to walk on earth
Me: So what’s the problem?
TPG: Were the dinosaurs here first or god?
Me: God made the dinosaurs.
TPG: I thought he made that man and lady who ate the fruit and had no clothes, I thought they were first.
Me: Well, maybe the dinosaurs were on earth first and then those people- Adam and Eve came later.
TPG: Yes, Adam and Eve that was their name. They came after the dinosaurs?
Me: Yes
TPG: OHHH, ok, Can I have a banana?
Me: ok
YIKES-I think I totally confused him and now me. I think I would have done better with the "where do babies really come from" question.
