Death

Conversation with Journey (August 3, 2014)

Difficult questions from a 4-year old

J: Mom, do real people die?
Me: Yes
J: Not mommies and daddies…
Me: Yes, everybody has to die sometime.
J: I don’t like dying
Me: Me neither
J: Well, how do people come back when they die? Do you blow them up or put batteries in them?
Me: No, it doesn’t work like that
