Christian on the Potty

Christian was prattling on and on so Mama had to exhort: "SSShhh..use your muscles and push your ng-ng out ok?"

Ch (pointing to his arms) Mama i have bone here and muscles too. I use my arms and push my stomach.

Mama: You have muscles in your stomach too. You can use your stomach muscles and push *makes a constipated face in attempt to gain compliance*

Ch (now pointing to his stomach): Why do i have muscles?

Mama: You have muscles everywhere.

Ch: Mama why don't i have bone in my stomach?
(wow that's a logical question..i.e. why do we have muscles everywhere but not bones everywhere)

Mama: Er...cos if there's bone in your stomach, your stomach can't expand after you eat food. The bone will block your expanding stomach. But i'm just guessing. You'll have to ask God yourself next time, if you see Him.

Ch: Oh. Where's God?

Mama: Erm.. in heaven, and in your heart.

Ch: Why is he in my heart? Can I take him out and talk to God?

Mama (stumped): Erm...No you can't take him out.

Ch: Why? Why can't I take him out and talk to God?

Mama: Cos he likes to stay in your heart.

*escapes to the room and asks the helper to help him off the potty*
