While out on an errand, the subject of heaven was brought up. Questions included, "where is heaven" and "how do you get there?" Apparently, there was no misunderstanding about the requirements to gain entry, but rather, how to avoid getting lost on the way. No, really...Google Maps, please. Once any lingering doubts had been resolved, Ethan piped up.
"I want to go to heaven," he said.
Suddenly, we were joined by the spirit of Ralphie Parker from
A Christmas Story, describing his Red Ryder BB Gun.
"In heaven you can do whatever you want," Justin said dreamily. The glazed look of wonderment and awe was evident even from the dark back seat.
"Really?" Ethan gasped. The air of excitement suggested that he had nearly peed at this news.
"Well," replied Justin, "you're gonna be up there forever. You have to be able to do something forever."
