A few days later he asked how God got to be a god. His theory is that he was the first man who died "or something."
Maybe this is part of his religion? It sounds as though in general, he has problems communicating - and as you said, a little immature. But I wonder if there's religions that believe something like that, and he just presented it as a theory as opposed to something Mom and Dad told him? After all, there's people who believe we came from aliens, so someone believing that God was a mortal (as well as the first human) who somehow became immortal isn't that unlikely. *Shrugs*
The way he asked it, the question had clearly just popped into his head for the first time. It was also pretty clear that he'd never considered the existence of religions other than his own. He automatically assumed that my god was his god. I've had no hint at all that anyone is his community is anything other than Christian. It is remarkably homogeneous.
Adult kickball sounds awesome! Much better than having to bat.
And if you have a car, your insurance would eventually get upset about it being registered in a different state than the one you're living in. The people with Florida plates in Connecticut probably use a Florida address on their registrations. But it stinks to have to get rid of a good drivers' license picture, so I totally sympathize.
Thank you for reminding me that some kids are even odder than my kids.
My oddest kids are my Year 8s. I had them starting the lesson in their lunchtime last week ('bout 5 minutes before bell went), which was frankly hysterical. They all sat down and started writing the title and objectives, while I ate an apple. All of their yearmates, who were messing about in the corridors, stood at the door, gawping in disbelief.

I think they might be robots.
