Today over eggs, toast and coffee:
India: Momma, is God a boy or a girl?
Me: Both (or neither. Should I say neither?)
India: Both?
Me: God's a boy and a girl (Is she imagining a hermaphrodite with a long white beard and breasts, sitting in the clouds right now?).
India: God's a boy and a girl? But not a moose?
Me: No. God is not a moose.
India: Or a donkey?
Me: No. God is not a donkey.
Now we are both giggling and India looks around the room.
India: Is God a cup, momma?
Me: (still laughing) No India, God is not a cup. Now you're being silly.
God a donkey. God a moose. God a cup.
God a boy. God a girl.
Silly.
