Elliot said in the car ride, “Daddy, what is heaven?”

“Some people believe it’s a place where people go after they die. A place where everyone who died is, and that life is easy and good there”, I replied.

“Do you believe you go heaven when you die?”, he asked.

“I believe I will go back to G-d. I will be the rain, the clouds, the earth, the trees, the leaves, the rainbows… everything everywhere”, I answered poetically.

Later, in the Jui Jitsu parking lot, he says he will go back to G-d, too, but only after he has lived a million years.

“Daddy! It’s real life!”, Elliot exclaimed several times after breaking open three geodes he got for Hanukkah. Here we are shining the UV flashlight on one. He said it must come from mines. Maybe he means real life versus Minecraft. He knows some rocks in Minecraft are real, like bedrock, but others, like netherite, are not.
