What's a Bing?

Grace (5): How old is God?

Dada: He doesn't have an age. He existed before the world was made and anyone was ever born.

Grace: So he's 100 years old?

Dada: No, he's infinite. He's been around since forever, but he doesn't age like we do.

Macy (7): He's God.

Grace: I know that!

Dada: He's not a person.

Grace: Yes he is. He is a person.

Dada: Well, he's a Person, but not like us. He's not a human being.

(long pause)

Grace: I'm not a bean.

Macy: BEE-ing! Not bean.

Grace: I'm not a bee either.

Macy: That's not what I said!

Grace: I'm glad I'm not a bean or a bee 'cause I'd get eaten up or I'd get stung and then I'd die.

Macy: A BEING!

Grace: What's a bing?

That's twice as funny as any 'comedy' writing for television these days.

No kidding, Jared. Funny stuff.

I love your girls - they're so cute and you can tell they are going to be real wits.

Heh - "What's a bing?"

I absolutely love hearing the cute things those two girls have to say!

I love it.

Was Grace being funny when she said "I'm not a bean" and "I'm not a bee" or did she really misunderstand what was being said?

Either way - hilarious. (If, however, she was being funny, I find it more hilarious)

Quaid, she was incredulous. I think she really was hearing "bean" and then "bee" (because Macy overaccentuated the "bee" in "being" the second time).

What until those girls are teens and look'n at the boys. You are so in trouble. ;-} They can out talk you.

So the answer to that last question obviously wasn't "Crosby". :)
