It started with Tessie and me in the car talking about the weather...
Me: We're going to Legoland Friday. Hopefully the weather will be nice. [as compared to the deluge of almost Biblical proportions that was in progress]
T: Why hopefully?
Me: Well, all we can do is hope. We can't control the weather.
T: Why not?
Me: We just can't.
(pause)
T: God controls the weather.
(pause)
Me: Really, now? Tell me about God. Where does God live?
T: God lives in the sky, near the sun. God has a house near the sun made of dried raindrops. She has a spaceship attached to the house. God is a girl.
(further pause while I absorb this)
T: God made life. The first Mommy and Daddy. God created them.

As anyone who knows Tessie's Parents can guess, she's not learning this at home. And, I doubt she's learning it at the school that just hosted "Holiday Shows" rather than Christmas concerts. Fascinating.
