God is always happy...even if a hammer falls on his head.

A backseat conversation between my two sons overheard by their mother on the way to school today:

Aidan (the youngest): "When we are in heaven is God always happy?"

Brenden (the oldest, and who also speaks with the theological authority of the Church Fathers): "Yes, God is always happy."

Aidan: "Always???"

Brenden: "In heaven God is always happy."

Aidan: "Even if a hammer fell on his head?"

Brenden (thoughtfully): "Well, since God knows everything that is going to happen before it happens, I figure He would dodge it."

Aidan: "Yeah, you're right."
