What do you say when......?

Any parents out there who are quicker on their feet than I am (or maybe are just a whole bunch smarter) have any suggestions as to how to respond to questions/ comments like these? Often I can't quite make my brain and mouth work together quickly enough to come up with a logical (and right) response/ explanation before that fleeting teachable moment is gone (we're talking the attention of a fruit fly here folks). Any genius responses that we should have had?

I like Jesus sometimes, but He's not my favorite color (OK- we need a little work on the theology).

I didn't get out of bed so I can get my prize, and I only pee-peed in your bed a teeny tiny bit and not on your pillow (poor Aunt Heidi).

Does God have a red shirt? (I figure He has the cattle on a thousand hills, so surely He has a red shirt too)

I have a conference call on my "blueberry" (if Daddy has a 'black' berry, why can't his be blue?)

I went up to my room, so I could have a little 'piece of quiet' (oh boy wouldn't I love a piece of quiet too sometimes).

Ask him if I can have a piece of his quiet. I could use it! :)
