Over the weekend my 5 year old grandson said to me(granpa when I,m 60 you,ll be dead),and that will make me sad.Well kiddo I won,t be too pleased myself:laughingave
When I was about 9 years old, I said something similar to my dad. He calmly explained to me that there are lots of things that can happen and that I might die before him. Boy! That was comforting... Sheesh! My dad had such a way with words.:laughing:
When my 98 year old grandmother passed away we were all at the funeral. My nephew, who was about 6 or so, was up at the casket with his grandmother. After a while his grandmother says to him "Well, I guess you could just say she's sleeping." He paused for a moment and then replied "Or you could just say she's dead, grandma." From the mouths of babes. :laughing:
