Three Year Theology

It's been quite a blessing to live on a mission compound with other children close to the ages of our own.  Three mornings a week Caleb attends preschool at the Nate Saint Memorial School.  Since we don't have a car another missionary family picks him up and drives him over.  Yesterday Tracy, the mother who often takes him to school, said Caleb and his friend Josiah had an interesting theological discussion about heaven on their way to school.
Caleb, "The cars in heaven will be fast."
Josiah, "Caleb, there aren't cars in heaven."
Caleb, "Yes there are."
Josiah, "How do you know?"
Caleb, "Because the Bible says there are streets of gold."

To a three-year-old mind there have to be cars if there are streets for them to drive on.  Why would someone make a street otherwise?  I guess we won't really know the answer to this questions until we're rejoicing with Jesus in heaven.
