(no subject)
I was stupid enough to let L watch Once Upon a Time... Man. He was somewhat appalled by the blood and gore, and then - Maestro dies. And of old age on top of everything else (for some reason the kid was perfectly happy with him being killed by the bear or something like that, but old age didn't make sense to him...). So we ended up having the inevitable discussion about death five minutes before bedtime. Joy. :-(
Today he comes up with the following:
L: When Baby H is going to be really old and almost going to die, would I be dead already?
Me: Uhm... no?
L: But you always say I'm older than Baby L and I will always be older than Baby L...
Me: OK, you're right, you'll be older, so you'll die FIRST.
L: Yay!!!!!
Me: *cringe* at general topic of discussion / *pat on back* for maternal ingenuity.
"Sure, the kids get along great, my oldest isn't jealous at all, no rivalry..." YEAH RIGHT!
