Spencer: What if I went to heaven and smashed a cloud with a hammer?
Paulo: They might think that they sent you to the wrong place.
Spencer: Why?
Me: Do they do violent things in heaven?
Spencer: No.
Lexi: If you can't go to heaven you'll have to go to a party instead!
Spencer: PARTY! PARTY! PARTY!
Paulo: So the options here are heaven or party?
Lexi and Spencer: PARTY! PARTY! PARTY!!
Me: Where have we gone wrong?
Spencer: Mommy? Do you want to go to heaven or a party?
Me: Heaven. I think I've had enough parties.
Paulo: Mommy went to plenty of parties when she was younger. Daddy too. We're partied-out.
Spencer: Well, what if they say you CAN'T go to heaven and you HAVE to go to a party and you have to do the LIMBO?
(To the delight and confusion of the children, I had to abandon the conversation at this point because I was convulsing with laughter.)
