Maybe he wasn't poking fun. Maybe it was just wise parenting ... or grandparenting. We most of us know what a pain in the ass toddlers are ... disgusting sub-humans (in today's jargon "pre-humans") with their snotty noses and constant questions. Just imagine what would have happened if he had said: "The angel is pointing the way to heaven."
And the questions that would have followed.
