\n\nGrandboy: Grandpa, you’ll live a long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: I hope so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy: But when you DO die, it won’t hurt, will it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: I don’t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy: WHAT?!? YOU DON’T KNOW IF IT’LL HURT???!!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: Yep. Depends on how it happens. I might get in a car crash. Or just die nicely in my sleep when I’m very old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy: Or get eaten by a dinosaur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: Yep. That’s in the realm of possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy: Or get eaten by a zombie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: Yep. That too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy (giggling): Or get eaten by BEES<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: Ok, that’s enough of THAT bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy: I hope it won’t hurt when you die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: Me too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy: Because then you can’t enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: That’s so true. I hope I enjoy it.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
