A Two Year Old perspective on God

So the other day, Ezra sent Caleb to his room for a time out. Upon peeking through the crack in the door, he heard Caleb talking out loud. "God, papa told me to go to my room because I was not listening. Could you go to the living room to tell him that I am a good boy?" As he twists his hand under the neckline of his shirt.

Ezra asked him about it upon entering the room a short while later. Caleb responds by showing Ezra that "I just take God out of my heart and I put him right there and talk to Him."

Tamara talks to Caleb the next day.

Mama - So Caleb, I heard you were talking to God yesterday in your room.

Caleb - Yes Mama. See? I just take Him out of my heart and put Him right there and talk to Him. I asked God to go in the living room and tell Papa that I was a good boy, but He came back and told me that I was not a good boy because I wasn't listening. See mama? He's right there and He can just walk around, and when I'm done talking I just put Him right back here in my heart."

Mama - Caleb, did someone tell you that that is how you can talk to God?

Caleb - Yes, mama, God did.

Mama - Are you sure that no one told you that you have to take God out of your heart and put Him in front of you so that you can talk to Him?

Caleb - Yes, mama, I TOLD YOU ALREADY - GOD DID!
