Heavenly Hot Dogs

Hudson had a hotdog with his lunch today. Being the silly family that we are, we always chuckle when people refer to hotdogs as anything other ... like a frank or wiener. That's what got this conversation started ...

H: (with a mouth full of food) Time for a bite of this wiener.
Me: It's a hot dog, and I'm glad you're eating a good lunch.
H: Yep, my lunch is good, but I think they called them 'weieners' back in Jesus' time.
Me: They didn't have hot dogs in Jesus' time that we know of.
H: Aw, fooey. (looking sad)
Me: What's wrong?
H: (pointed up toward the ceiling)
Me: Are you pointing to heaven?
H: Yes.
Me: You were hoping Jesus has hot dogs in heaven?
H: Yes, so I can eat them there, too.
Me: Sweet boy, there will be wonderful foods in heaven -- including hot dogs -- and you can eat nuts and wheat there, no allergies! God's table will be full of yummy things for you to eat.
H: Yay!! Hot dogs in heaven!!
