The stomach, heart and God

Ch: I like mama and meimei.

...

When i like mama and meimei, God is in my stomach right? (he apparently remembers me saying "God is in your heart when you love someone.)

Me (smiling): No, God is in your heart.

Ch: Oh. the heart pumps.. the heart pumps..

Me: Yes, the heart pumps blood around your body.

Ch: I like mama and meimei a lot. Mama and meimei are in my heart right?

Me: Erm.. yes.. God is there when you love us.

It's amazing what information children retain and spew back at us, even if it seems like they are not listening at times.

(And it is apparent that for this little guy, the starting premise for everything is his stomach.)
