When am I going to die?

Okay I have not blogged in forever, but this I need to remember.

As many of you know Davis asks me all the time when he is going to die. Sometimes he will actually go a whole month without asking, but for the most part it is a weekly question that I answer with "not for a long long time".
So here is our conversation in the car this morning.

D Mom, when is the world going to go away?
M It's not
D No I mean when will the world be goooone.
M It won't ever be gone
D (clearly getting frustrated at this point)No when is everything going to die.
M Everything is never going to die, it will always be here. (okay so I am not feeling very philosophical today)
D Even our house?
M yes, our house will always be here
D When I die will everything be here?
M Yes when we die, a long long time from now, everything will still be here.
D Am I going to come back to life after I die?
M Ummm, maybe.

What is with this kid? Stop asking me these in depth questions. You really need to hear all the sighs and his tone of voice to fully understand that he thinks I am ignorant. My short answers were very frustrating to him. And this was not a short conversation. I condensed it because honestly I can't remember all of it. It is like he really really wants to know. Geez, we need to go to church...or not!
