A parable of sorts from the wisdom and second language of a 9 year old . . . .

    I am quoting this, here it goes . . . . 

    "A man was lying in the sun pondering God. 

     He looked into the sky and said, "God, how much is a million dollars to you?" 

     God replied " A million dollars is like a penny to me."

     The man then said, "And God, how long is a million years to you?"  

     God replied, "A million years is like one minute to me."

     "God, " the man asked, "Can I have a penny?" 

   And God answered, "In one minute."
