I absolutely love hate these conversations. Because timespans are not her strong suit yet, at four.

Will I be with god when I die? Yes, of course (I’m not really going into reincarnation just now). But that’s not going to be for a long time

My next birthdays not for a long time!

Uh, yes, but you’re not going to die on your next birthday. There’s a lot of birthdays left to come.

Why do people die? (They know that three of mommys grandparents are dead, and three of mine too). (Oh and the whole “DK could have died” undertone the last year although I don’t think it was ever clearly stated as such to the other two).

Well, when people get really old or really sick, their body can’t support them anymore, so they die to go be with god then. But there’s a long time before you get that old.

When can I be with god?

Well, gods always there. Everywhere, remember. God, and his fuzzy cat. So you’re always with him, but he’s invisible isn’t he?

I like god. His cat is named Patchey and is very fuzzy. I want a fuzzy cat.

Aaaand thankfully that details our train of thought sufficiently!
