I put Caleb to bed tonight and, as usual, we had some interesting dialogue after our prayer. It went something like this…

Caleb: Daddy, are the word in the Bible true or fake?
Me: True.
Caleb: That’s right. There are true words and fake words.
Me: That’s right. And are the words in the Bible fake?
Caleb: No, their true. Do you know what is fake?
Me: No, what?
Caleb: Pencils.
Me: Really? Okay.
Caleb: Yes, pencils are fake. And swords are fake.
Me: Wow.
Caleb: And you know what else is fake?
Me: What?
Caleb: This (points to the adjacent wall outlet). And do you know why this is fake?
Me: Nope.
Caleb: Because…if you touch it…it will hurt you.

At least someone gets it.
