So, the other day Alaina and I are driving in the car when she says,
"Mama, some day can we go to the end of the world to see what is there?"
I tried to explain to her that the world is shaped like a big ball, so there isn't really 'an end' to go to. She inquired further:
A: "A big ball?"
Me: "Yes, a really big ball."
A: "Is there a lid on top?"
Me (puzzled): "No, there isn't a lid."
A: "But what about the sky? Isn't that a lid?"
Me: "Yes, I suppose the sky is like a lid."
A: "Mama, I've been wondering about something. Is God in the sky?"
So, I try to explain to her that God doesn't have a body like us, so he is able to be everywhere all the time.
A: "Yeah, I learned that in one of my Bible stories. So does that mean he can be high and low?"
Me: "Yes, he can be high and low."
A couple of errands later we are back in the car, and she starts the conversation again:
A: "Mama, some day I want to go to all the ends of the world to see what is there. I even want to go to the places where there are lions and tigers and monkeys."
Me: "Alaina, do you want to be a world traveler?"
A: "Yes Mama, I want to be a world traveler."
Is it any wonder I am so in love with that girl?

Adorable!
