"By age four, however, the problem, if it can be called such, was still very much visible, to use a euphemism, for as soon as one laid eyes on the boy, it was impossible not to see."

It is interesting to say that something is "very much visible" if it's "impossible not to see." Maybe you could say that about God's existence?

And maybe everyone knows deep down that God is real and that He loves them?

I bet the kids sang 'grüß Gott groß kopf' to Klaus. How terrible!

i really don't know any german (nor why the character is named Klaus). what does it mean? kopf, i believe is head. gross i suppose just means big. but i'm not sure.

Well it is Christmas, maybe that's why he's Klaus., but I thought of Germany first.

The phrase means something like 'God greets you big head'. I am not a german, nor fluent, so I don't know if that is a proper alliteration but to me it sounds similar enough to be a rhyming song that you could tease someone with.
