Awkward parenting conversations

[thalinoviel]

"When I get very old, will I die?"

"Yes." (Let's leave out the part where he might die before then. I can't cope with that right now.)

"I don't want to."

"Nobody does."

"Why do people have to die?"

"That's what being alive is. You're born, you live, and then you die. The thing is to live as much as you can while you're alive."
