"hey momma, it's pretty cool that you can take all the books in a HYOO-MUNGO building like a library,
and read each one a couple'a times...
and you can actually have all those facts inside your HEAD in just THAT MUCH SPACE! (traces fingers around his skull) you'd think your head would EXPLODE or something!"

"it's like this - to get maple sugar you have to have water. water waters the seed which makes the seed grow and when the maple tree is large you can bore a hole, put a bucket under it, the sap runs out of the hole into the bucket, boil it, let it become grainy and you've got maple sugar. see? pretty much anything comes from water!"

"God has angel-blood, and angels have angel-blood.
i'll explain it to you, momma.
the angels were grown-ups when God was a grown-up. God stays alive longer. elf-blood is not as life-ing as angel-blood because elf-blood doesn't last that long. God lasts as long as angels and angels last as long as God does. and i thought Jesus and the angels were all there when God made the earth so the angels must have been grown-ups. And why does God only have one son to play with??"
