Darndest Things -Pt. 7

This conversation takes place as I'm tucking Reid in a couple nights after he got busted for sneaking down the hall for a cup of water when he was supposed to be in bed.  (Now, before you report me to CPS, let me explain that he's not allowed to have drinks after a certain time of night to avoid bed-wetting...  so there.)  Ok, tucking Reid in...

Reid:  Mom?
Me:  Yes.
Reid:  Are you going to watch me on the monitor?
(We haven't watched him on our video monitor in months)
Me:  Ummm.... I don't know.  Should I?
Reid:  I don't know.
Me:  Well, do you plan on doing something you're not supposed to?
Reid:  Yeah.
Me:  What do you plan on doing?
Reid:  Sneaking a drink of water.
Me:  Well, Sweetie... Even if Mom & Dad aren't watching you, you should still always do the right thing and obey rules.
Reid:  Why?
Me:  Because God is always with you and He knows if you're being obedient or disobedient.
Reid:  Is He going to tell you?
Me:  No...
Reid:  Why not?
Me:  Because that's between you and God.
(He looks down pondering my words then nods and just says...)
Reid:  Ok.


Hmmm...  I'm still not completely sure what all was meant with that last "Ok".
