BG: Why do you like Bionicles so much?
LG: Because I like them (monotone...)
BG: NERD!
LG: You are a super nerd!
BG: So, what what is on your mind.
LG: Right now i am working on building a toa, his name is toa hydro, he has the abilities, well, i haven't decided that yet, but he is really cool, he has two mounted codak blasters that can shoot 2000 cordaks at a time.
BG: Cool...do you have questions about God?
LG: Not today, sorry.
BG: Any questions about other stuff?
LG: no, but our viewers should check out the lego site and click on the new video.
BG: I agree. it is cool. May I ask you some questions.
LG: Sure
BG: How big is God?
LG: hmmmm...He is beyond imagine big...
BG: not bad...hmmm...is Jesus invisible?
LG: no
BG: is santa claus real?
LG: no
BG: alright...how does one get to have eternal communion with God?
LG: They have to believe in God
BG: what does that mean?
LG: It means that you believe that Jesus died on the cross and rose again.
BG: Cool...is there any other way to spend eternity with your Creator?
LG: hmmm...I don't know
BG: Can you get to heaven if you don't believe in Jesus?
LG: No...
BG: I agree...is that all for today?
LG: Yes, now can we go back on Lego.com?

LG: I want to move to GRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
BG: wow, why?
LG: Because I like it!
BG: What did you like about it?
LG: I like the carpet floor. I can pretend I am a Borak...whatever....
BG: How about the place out in the country that we looked at today?
LG: NO!
BG: I liked it. It was very secluded. Quiet and it had 2 acres!
LG: Yeah, yeah, yeah...
BG: Well, I am not crazy about your friends around here. They say nasty things and treat their parents badly.
LG: One of them does.
BG: Well, yeah. I think most of them are a little problematic.
LG: Just get over it, dad!
BG: Get over what?
LG: About how bad my friends are. It is a good thing I am not allowed to play with one of them.

When I Look at the Stars
BG: LG, what do you make of this cool show we are watching about astronomy?
LG: hmmmmmm....well.....i am trying to learn things from it.
BG: I think the images are beautiful.
LG: You can see the sun with a telescope. I am going to go to the moon. YOu can make it to the moon, it is easy. What planet can you not make it to?
BG: You could probably get to maybe one.
LG: Yeah. I think that this telescope can probably look at a lot of stars, but probably not the sun.
BG: You know that the sun is actually a star?
LG: No.
BG: Yes, it is.
LG: and why can it be a star if it is so big.
BG: Because it is so close compared to other stars. It is like looking at a baseball that is right in front of your face, then seeing the baseball far away in the yard.
LG: If you actually got to it and you could see it, it is probably about 13 light years away. inside the earth is probably hotter than the sun.
BG: hmmm....I don't think so. The sun is wicked hot.
LG: NOT!
BG: YOT!
LG: lol
BG: So, do you want to get a telescope?
LG: YES!
BG: Maybe we can go to grandpa's and use his
LG: YYYYYYYYYESSSSS!
BG: Good night buddy.
LG: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
BG: Hey, you remember the band Switchfoot?
LG: no
BG: You remember, "when I look at the stars, I see someone else." Do you know who that "someone else" is?
LG: Who?
BG: He is singing about looking at all of creation and the wonder of it all.
LG: Let me guess, its God?
BG: Right.
LG: Sigh...
BG: What is the matter?
LG: I don't want to go to bed.
BG: When do you think about God, LG?
LG: Not very often.
BG: Hmmmmm...why?
LG: Because I am doing a lot of things!
BG: Really? Like what?
LG: Just stuff, like school work.
BG: So, you aren't thinking about God very much because mommy has you doing school work all the time?
LG: It isn't your fault mom, dad is always joking around.
BG: Well, it isn't my fault. Nothing ever is....
LG: Oh brother, yeah right.......
BG: Ok, so you never think about God?
LG: When i am praying i do.
BG: Is that the only time?
LG: some other times...
BG: now you are just rambling....good night

LG: oh...ah, i still don't understand.
BG: ok, a newspaper is like a book, only it comes out everyday with stories about what is happening in the neighborhood and the world. people read it to find out what is going on. so it is a lot of work to get all that in the paper in time for people to read it. you buy it at stands or boys often deliver it to your house in the morning or afternoon.
LG: I mostly know that boys come around and throw newspapers on your doorstep.
BG: yeah, anyway, your grandpa has a big job now being in charge. that is pretty cool.

Ethical Issues

LG: No.
BG: So, ethics would be you and I discussing the way in which you deal with animals. what is the right way to deal with your cats?
LG: not to swing them against a tree and bang them against a tree and not to yell in their ears and not to do anything bad to them just give them food and water and play with them and pet them.

The Hobbit, by LG
In the Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins got trapped inside a cavern, and the dwarves and Gandalf left him. They didn't even know he fell and hit his head on a rock and remembered nothing else. Then he found Gollum and he found a ring, an evil ring that was made by Saruman. Now if you watched the Lord of the Rings, you would have known this. Now I've got something else to tell you. If you wear that ring, you would become invisible. How would you like that? And Gollum and Bilbo told riddles to each other. Now this is a hard one...Alive without breath, as cold as death, never thirsty, never drinking, all in mail never clinking. Can you guess it? This is as far as we got in The Hobbit.
