no rest for the omnipotent

Mike is currently outside attempting to de-junk the garage. Abby is currently outside and being "helpful". The step ladder is off to the side and while Mike and I are busy with something else Abby climbs up it until she can touch the ceiling.

Abby: Hey! Let's play God.
Mike & Shan: Whaaa?
Abby: Let's play God.
Shan: How do you play that?
Abby: I'll be God and you be the humans down there.
Shan: Okaaaaaay.
Abby: I'll say Hello and you say who is that, okay Mommy?
Shan: Okaaaaaay.
Abby: Hello!
Shan: Who is that?
Abby: It's God! Are there any problems down there?
Shan: No, I think we're okay. Thanks for asking.
Abby: I'm going to come down there.
Abby climbs down the ladder and walks over to Mike and I.
Mike: Hi God.
Abby: Hi. Okay, I'm going back up to Heaven now.
Abby climbs back up the ladder
Abby: Hey, are there any problems down there?
Mike: Nope.
This entire time Mike has been attempting to remove a bicycle tire from it's rim with little success.
Abby: Well that looks like a problem.

Folks I wasn't sure whether to laugh or to explain to her what blasphemy was.

Okay, that's not really true. I laughed. A lot.

Blasphemey is commited with malicious intent. It sounds to me as if she's just acting as a mouthpiece. No problem is too small to take to God. Out of the mouths of babes indeed.

Now there's a lesson for Mike: can't hide anything from God!
