Heavenly Father is a turtle?

A conversation in the car as we passed the Salt Lake City LDS temple:

James: Is Heavenly Father dead?
Dad: No.
James: Why not?
Dad: Because he's eternal.
James: A turtle?
Kate (suddenly interested in the conversation): Heavenly Father is a turtle?
James: Why is Heavenly Father a turtle?

I visited Nettie and Curtis Atkisson's blog shortly after reading yours. It reminded me of a story Nettie told me about how their four-year-old Spencer was very riled up about "Clayton" one day. "Clayton" made you do bad things, and "Clayton" made you say naughty words, etc. Nettie was wondering who this rotten kid, "Clayton", was and how Spencer was involved with him. Then she realized that Spencer meant SATAN.

The questions this boy asks are hysterical. Three hours of it straight at Pineview. I am still laughing.
