Dying

Today I was getting into the car and my knee was bothering me. I moaned and Dominic asked me what I'd done. Pain to him means that you've hit something. He has no idea of pain from getting old. =) So I told him that my knee was bothering me.

Dominic: Why, Mommy? Did you hit it on the car?

Me: No, Dominic. I'm getting old.

Dominic: Daddy, do you die when you get old?

Jon: Yes, Dominic, eventually.

Dominic: Mommy, are you dying? Am I going to get a new mommy?"

Me: No, Dominic. Hopefully I won't die any time soon. That was just an expression."

Dominic: It's ok, we'd just pray you alive again.

Yikes! This kid's logic actually makes sense sometimes. =) It's also very apparent that he listens to the Bible stories, but doesn't have a firm grasp on reality.
