It well may be that
GOD
is a
whiny
brat,
running around like
a 4-year-old
announcing “Mine! Mine!”
definitely OLD ENOUGH to know better
but still
YOUNG ENOUGH
to try to get away with it.
Which God can,
because
hello?
God is GOD.
Most challenging:
4-year-old God
seems to think that it is fun
to be in a room
with other
4-year-olds
(me and you)
who also
run around ridiculously
whining “MINE! MINE!”
and although a caring preschool teacher might say,
“No, it belongs to all of us so we need to share,”
we are bratty kids who know better:
the toys & the crayons
belong to the preschool
just like the world & all that is in it
belong to
GOD
which is probably why
we spend so much time
out-shouting God
“Mine!
Mine!”
because when we shout over God
then it’s easier to overlook
the part about being
wrong
and we can still
pretend to believe
that everything belongs
to the kid
who gets things
FIRST.

P.S. I totally love kids. And I don’t believe that 4-year-olds are inherently bratty, but sometimes I suspect that adults are.
