Kavya at the temple

Of late, Kavya has been asking a lot of questions about God. So recently, when we went to the temple, this is how our discussion went:
Kavya: Mom, you said God has everything right?
Me: Yes.
Kavya: I think God is poor.
Me: Why do you say that?
Kavya: Well, everytime you come, you have to give money to God. So he must be poor!
Me: (Trying my best to explain) Money is an offering to God, we are showing our love for God by giving what we can etc :-D

It is good fun seeing her at the temple. She will move quickly from idol to idol praying and dropping a coin into the hundi. Then she will go to the priest, take prasad and sit down happily in some corner eating the prasad.
