Isabelle: (filled with childlike wonder, her head tilted to the side), "Did God make everything in the world?"
Mommy: (intrigued by the transparency of childhood while simultaneously taken aback by the profound implications of such a simple statement, her head tilted to the other side), "Yes, Isabelle, everything."
Isabelle: (eyes wide as she contemplates 'everything'), "WOW."
Until, grinning with the knowledge of a loop hole,...
Isabelle: "Wait!" (delivered with such confidence there was no backward glance for affirmation as she skipped out the door), "Not houses, TRACTORS made houses!"
It was then that I realized the dramatic elevation tractors have recently enjoyed in our home and the Catechistical struggle that still lay before me.
