Me: Good afternoon - this is Kurt.
Geana: Yes - GOD?
Me: Ummm... ok.
Geana: Yeah - God... Robby just peed outside on the driveway.
Me: What? Are you kidding me?
Geana: And God, he won't say he's sorry.
Me: Was it an accident?
Geana: Even more than that, God, he said he's going to do it again when I'm not looking.
Me: What's going on? Robby peed outside, he's not sorry, and he is going to do it again? What happened? What's going on?
Geana: Robby - talk to God. He wants to know what's going on.
(Robby in the background): Mommy - God knows what's going on all the time! I don't have to tell him.
Me: Don't put him on the phone... my door is open.
Geana: Hey Rob - God can't talk to you right now. He's too busy. Also - he's pretty upset. You'd better say your sorry before it starts to thunder and lightning.
Me: Ugh... let me talk to him.
Geana: Looks like he freed up, Rob. God will speak to you now.
Me: No - I'm going to talk to him as ME!
Geana: Oops Robby - sounds like someone called him on the other line. God put me on hold.
Me: Geana - purgatory sucks, huh?
Geana: Shut-up.
Robby: YOU CAN'T TELL GOD TO SHUT-UP!
Geana: Don't tell me what to tell God.
Robby: But you can't tell God to shut-up, Mom, that's not nice. And he's GOD!
Geana: Not nice is peeing on my driveway.
Me: Ugh. Let me talk to him.
Geana: Here Robby. He's on the phone.
Robby: God?
Me (in deep godly voice): Yeess Rooobbbyyy. It is me... God.
Robby: I'm sorry my Mommy told you to shut-up.
Me: That's okay. She didn't mean it. I forgive her. Everyone sins... some more than others.
Robby (to Geana): He forgives you, Mom.
Me: Now - did you pee on the driveway?
Robby: Yes.
Me (trying to be super Godly): WWWHHYYYYY?
Robby: The devil made me do it.
Me: What did he say?
Robby: He said, "Rob - go outside and pee on the driveway."
Me: You'd think the devil could be more creative, huh?
Robby: I know. I think it was James in dress-up, really. I'll ask him. JAMES - I'm talking to God. He wants to know if you were dressed up like the devil and told me to pee on the driveway.
James: Can I talk to Santa?
Robby: No - I'm talking to God right now and he's really busy. Mommy already told him to shut-up.
James: But I want to talk to Santa.
Robby: God - is Santa there?
Me (as me): Robby - stop peeing on the driveway. Ok?
Robby: (silence)
Me: Robby?
Robby: Dad - I didn't know you worked for God.
Me: We all work for God, Rob. Now don't pee on the driveway again.
Robby: Where's God?
Me: He left.
Robby: Ok. Mommy - I think Daddy killed God.
Ok - so 95% of this conversation is made up. Geana did call me and pretend I was God after Robby peed outside - but when I started trying to recall the conversation my imagination kinda took over.
