Even Sponge Bob can stoke deep thought

Yesterday my son asks me, "What's a soul?"

Wow... hmm...

My first response, "Mommy and Daddy made your body, and God made your soul. It's up to you what you do with them."

He seems content with that answer.

I follow-up with a second response, "Imagine a painting without any paint... your soul is the paint."

I think he gets it.

"Why do you ask, kiddo?"

"Squidword says he doesn't have a soul."

Hmmm... "well, he's an idiot," I respond.
