- This is a true story:
-
- My 5 year old niece, Katherine, was being put to bed for her nap by my
- mother when the following conversation took place:
-
- "Grandma, you are old"
- "yes, I am"
- "you're going to die"
- "someday, yes I am"
- "and grandpa is old and he is going to die"
- "yes"
- "and then my mommy and daddy will be old, and they are going to die"
- "yes"
- "and all my aunts and uncles will be old, and they will die"
- "yes"
- "and then my cousins and I will be old, and we will do whatever we want to!"
