Nap vs. Rest

Conversation with Parker before making him take a nap today that he didn't want to take but desperately needed:

Parker: "Mom, When God rested on like the 7th day. Was he tired or did he just maybe sit in bed and read a book but not sleep?"
Me: (knowing exactly where this convo is headed): "Hmm not sure. He probably slept and when he woke up he laid in bed for a little bit and rested some more."
Parker: "Oh. Well, I think he just sat in bed and read some Bible stories and then he woke up after maybe 10 seconds and played with the animals."

haha.. the irony of God reading his own stories that He knew would take place and only needing a 10 second nap after creating the WHOLE earth was enough to make me chuckle out loud! Needless to say, Parker was asleep within 5 minutes!

that must be a very common question asked by 5 and 6 year olds as I remember having a similar one with my mom after Kindergarten one day...
