He tells you to get out of there, but you start faking it, like you're talking Hawaiian, and then he gets mad and chases you...

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did.".
