About This Quote
This quote is a reference to a children’s story about a little boy who goes to visit the Queen of England one day. While there, he runs up and hugs her. She turns around and says, “Who are you? I am the queen!” The boy tells her that he is not the queen but her son. The Queen looks at him in shock and says, “I’m not the queen! I am God!” The little boy replies, “Thank God I am not God! Thank God I am not God!”
