What kids say...

Tonight as I was putting our five year old to bed I noticed she was tryinjg hard to sob silently, but she was crying so hard. As I leaned over and asked what was wrong she left me almost speechless. Mommy, I don't want to get old and die, I don't know what its like, will I have blood so my body will stay together? As I cradeled her and tried to explain to her that she was just a baby and did not need to worry of such things, I shuttered. She was literally scared. So I tried to explain that God has prepared a wonderful place for us, and that Jesus will always be there with us to keep us safe, she seemed to be eased some and dozed off to sleep. Definetly something I did not think I would have to explain to my FIVE year old. Geez, what's the with drama at 5!
