radical thinking

i just finished the most incredible conversation with caitlin - one of the little girls i nanny for. we were just having some quiet time before dinner; i was reading, lauren was upstairs coloring a picture, and caitlin was looking at a picture book. it had been quiet for about 15 minutes, and all of a sudden caitlin starts telling me that she thinks her Nanny White (her great-grandma) is going to die soon, as she is very old, and old people should never eat sweets. and then she tells me that she is going to die before me, but that when i get to heaven, when i die, it is going to be so much fun! there will be 13 (her fav number) heavens...one where you stand, one where you sit, one with a party, one with a film playing, one with football (soccer), a House Heaven (where houses go when they die, obviously) and a Clothes Heaven. you also have to dress in costume to get into heaven. caitlin said she will dress as a pirate, and i will dress as a fairy. my dad will dress as a tractor. you are not allowed to talk in heaven. "baddies" (bad guys) will also go to heaven, but to the bad heaven, while we will go to the good heaven. there was so much more said, but of course i can't remember it now. she really is the most incredible girl - such wild things come out of her mouth! i love it.

    What kind of heaven would you want?
    I want a chicken mcnugget heaven. And a nap heaven. Is it bad that when i read Revelation and it talks about eternal praising, i think to myself, "hmm....what if i want to sit down for some of the songs?"
