Mitchie:  Do people grow in Heaven?
Mommy: (picking him up, giving him a hug)  I don't know, Honey.  I wonder if Gabriel grows up or stays just like a baby.  (long pause as I think about the other babies and search for the right words)  What do you think?
Mitchell:  No.  Because I don't want people to make fun of me for wearing diapers in Heaven.
And he's off to play again, with a fresh diaper on his five year-old bottom.  
These kind of conversations melt me and freak me out at the same time, and not because I am worried about Mitchell wearing diapers forever.  That is the least of my worries.
