Truth...

Connah: "What makes us die?"

(Seriously? I seriously have to answer this?)

Me: "You mean people?"

(You are only three, I am not ready to talk about you and death in the same sentence.... I will never be ready to talk about you and death in the same sentence.)

Connah: "Yeah, what makes people die?"

(This is safer, we are not talking about you anymore. I can explain generic causes of death without hyperventilating....)

Me: "People can die from lots of different things, they could have a really bad accident, or get very very sick, or live for a long time and die when they get too old for their bodies to keep going."

(Honesty.... stick to the truth and everything will be fine...)

Connah: "So... when I get really old...... I have to die?"

(Screw honesty. No baby, only bad people die. You are going to live forever...)








Me: "Yes."
