Weston's Never Ending Questions

If you know our sweet little Weston at all, you know that the child is an incessant question asker. Alot of children go through this stage, but for Weston, it isn't a stage, it is who he is! He has always been a child that wants to know how, why, where, when, who, what, etc. He is so persistent with his question asking skills, that it has gotten to be a joke for us with our close family and friends. I love hearing stories that our family members and friends report back to us of conversations and questions that Weston has had with them. I often times think that I should write them down, but don't. Well, this time I'm going to! He has been asking lots of religious questions recently. About 5 or 6 months ago, he asked Jesus in his heart. It seems like the religion questions have really picked up since then. Here are a few recent examples...

After Sunday School and church, we're eating lunch out, and Weston looks at me and Bob and says, "can you explain the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament"? He's learning a lot in Sunday School and we really enjoy his "recap" of the lesson that he gives to us each week! Apparently, that specific week his teachers referenced the New and Old Testaments. He really wanted to know the difference!

Then, on another day, it was just me and kids at home and we were eating lunch together around the table. (I see a pattern here - give Weston food and the questions start! But seriously, they don't end there...he asks them all hours of the day and night!) This time Weston asks me, "Mommy, where does Satan live"? I told him that Satan was in hell. Well, of course this leads to his next question. He says, "Mommy, is hell on the Eastside or the Westside"? After getting my laughter under control, I respond, "ummmm....well, hell is kinda on the Southside"!

My new goal is to get better about writing these things down!
