Theology and a Three-Year-Old Part 3

A couple of nights ago, Grant and I were taking the garbage out to the curb, and then starting the sprinkler system. As we were watching the sprinklers, Grant noticed that the wind was blowing some of the water against his window, "like when it rains." He then asked why God makes the wind. Before I could answer, Grant said, "I think God has a really huge fan that blows the wind and goes round and round. And the rain comes from his sprinkler system." He could be right.



On another note, Grant and I won a July 4th contest at my sister-in-law's house for "most original dessert." As we were trying to decide what to make, Grant mentioned that an air conditioner cake would be cool. So we decided to make one. We went to the store and bought two bundt cakes, white icing, black icing, and a small fan. After we stacked the two cakes, we ran the fan cord down the middle of the cake and out the bottom, fitting the fan into the top of the cake. We then mixed a little black icing into the white to get gray(I remember my art classes!) and spread icing around the cake. We then took the black icing to make vents and wrote "Grant Air USA" on the top. When the fan was plugged and running, it was perfect. We added a caption "What's More American than Air Conditioning?" So with this father-son masterpiece, we won "Most Original." Best of all, Grant thought I was the coolest dad in the world because I helped him make an air conditioner cake.
