The scene: A bathroom. Elsie is on the pottie, Dad is sitting on the sink.
Elsie: Dad, God controls everything in the world from heaven.
Dad: Really?
Elsie: Yeah, from a little room in heaven, he controls everything we do.
Dad: What if I want to take off my shoe and God doesn't want me to?
Elsie: Then you won't take it off.
Dad: (takes off his shoe) I just took it off.
Elsie: Well then, I guess God wanted you to do that.
Dad: What about the bad stuff that goes on in the world, like when people get sick? Does God control that?
Elsie: (pause) Well, then, I guess a button is broken in God's room...
