“Where were you?” I asked one of my students in class, looking for an answer along the lines of “I was at the park.” But Paul is a fearless and precocious kid. With him it went like this:
Me: Where have you been?
Paul: I was in the sky.
Me: Why were you in the sky?
Paul: I’m a god.
Me: What were you doing in the sky?
Paul: I was in the toilet.
Me: Do gods use the toilet?
Paul: Of course.
Out of the mouths of babes. Of course the gods do–that is what makes it rain!
