'Cause When We Die, We All Go to Egypt
Understand that we've been reading a great deal about mummies. But first, let me stab you through the heart with how terribly sweet my fourth child is.
The other day Lachlan found a picture of my grandparents, and asked who they were. Then he asked if they were dead.
"Yes, honey," I said. "They're dead."
"Oh, that's so sad!" he sniffed. "They're dead, and I didn't even get to hug them!"
When you recover from that ...
Tonight we read another book about mummies. Later he found the picture again.
"Mom, your grandma and grandpa are dead, and I didn't get to kiss them! That's so sad!"
"Yes, honey, that is sad."
"So, are they in Egypt now?"
Clearly we have some 'splainin' to do.
