Kid Logic- part deux

I was in awe when my 7 year old son explained the process of death and rebirth in his own words. His theory is when Christians die, the body is buried in a grave and God comes to get his heart ( he means Soul) and is given to a baby that has not been born yet.
On the other hand, when a Hindu person dies and the body is cremated, God collects the soul from the remains ( ashes) and is handed over to a baby. Just so we understands he clarifies that this way the soul is recyled into another living persons body.
We have some what of an idea where he may have learnt and interpreted this from. We always talk about his grandma who died not too long ago and we talk about her and say that she is in heaven and really really happy there. Sometimes I jokingly tell my wife that I may have mahatma Gandhi's soul, as if I did something good.
Just puts a lot of things into perspective and know that kids are always listening and paying attention to what grown ups are talking about.
I am so proud of my boy and his thinking capabilities. May God bless him with all the wisdom, courage and strength that is required to manouvre through this journey of life.
