One sunny spring afternoon, we were relaxing in the living room and having a snack when my youngest son suddenly started talking about his memories of heaven again.
Son: “Mom! You were a child in heaven, right?”
Me: “Hmm… I’m sorry, but I don’t remember anything about heaven.”
Son: “You don’t remember? You don’t remember Dad being a child either?”
Me: “No, I don’t. Was Dad there too?”
Son: “Of course! You really don’t know?”
Me: “Nope, I really don’t know.”
Son: “Do you want to know more about heaven then?”
Me: “Yes! I’d love to. Will you tell me?”
Son: “Hmm… maybe next time!”
Wait, what?!
You brought it up, and now I have to wait until next time?!
Kids can be so funny and unpredictable.
I thought maybe if I asked him some questions, he might tell me more.
Me: “You told me before that you could see Mom and Dad from heaven. Did someone tell you to come to us, or did you choose us yourself?”
Son: “I chose you myself.”
Me: “Really? There are so many people in the world. Why did you choose Mom and Dad?”
Son: “Because you looked like you were having fun.”
Me: “Aww, really? Were Mom and Dad having fun?”
Son: “Yep! But you have to wait in a really long line.”
Me: “What? I’ve heard something like that before!”
Son: “It’s really, really long!”
Me: “So there’s a long line to choose your parents?”
Son: “Yeah.”
Me: “Can you actually see Mom and Dad when you’re choosing?”
Son: “I can see everything.”
Me: “How?”
Son: “I don’t know how, but it’s made so you can see everything. You can come down here too. And there’s someone like a grandpa who decides when it’s time to come down.”
Wait… what?
You decide when to come down?
Since he was suddenly talking nonstop about heaven, the conversation got pretty long!
So I’ll save the rest for the next post. He started telling me about what he thinks is the “job” or “role” of babies, and it was really interesting.

ある春の晴れた日の午後、のんびりリビングでおやつを食べていた時だった。
また突然三男のお空の記憶が爆発したのだ。
息子:ママー！ママはお空では子供だったよね！
私:うーん…ママお空の事全然覚えてないんだよ、ごめんね。
息子:覚えてないの?パパが子供だったのも覚えてないの？
私:うん、覚えてないなぁ。パパも一緒にいたのかな？
息子:そうだよ！本当に知らないの？
私:本当に知らないよ。
息子:じゃあもっとお空のこと知りたい？
私:うん、知りたい！教えてくれる？
息子:うーん…じゃあ今度ね！
え？？？
自分から話をふっといて今度かーいっ！！！（笑）
子供の気まぐれさにはいつも笑わせられる。
質問したらもしかしたら答えてくれるかもしれないと思って聞いてみた。
私: あのさ、お空でさパパとママ見えてたよ、って前に言ってたけどさ、誰かに言われてこっちにきたの？それとも自分で選んで来たの？
息子: 自分で選んで来たよ。
私: そうなんだ。たーくさん人がいる中で何でパパとママを選んでくれたの？
息子: だって楽しそうだったから。
私:そっか、パパとママ楽しそうにしてたのかな？
息子:うん！でもね、すごい並ぶの！
私: え？なんかそれ聞いたことあるな！
息子: ながーいよ！
私: ながーい列ってことかな？
息子: うん、そう。
私: パパとママを選ぶ時ってちゃんと見えるの？
息子:全部見えるよ。
私: どうやって？
息子: どうやってかは分からないけど、全部見えるようになってるの。こっちにも来れるの。なんかおじいちゃんみたいな人といつ下に降りるかは決めるの。
えぇ？
いつ降りるか決める？
→今回は話が爆発し始めて止まらなくなったので（笑）長くなるので次回、赤ちゃんの役割みたいな事を話してくれたので、そのことについて書いていこうと思います。
お楽しみに♪
