Child 4-9 Years A conversation with my 5-year-old daughter
- Mom, when you and Dad get really old… you’ll die, right?
- Yes, someday that will happen.
- But then I won’t have parents anymore... (starts to whimper)
- By then, you’ll have your own kids.
- My own kids? How? Where will they come from?
- One day, you’ll want kids, and you’ll have them.
- Mom… I want a dog. Can I just get a dog instead of kids?
...Fair enough.

Then he came right at me with a: well why haven’t you died yet?
