What Is My Son Planning?
I’m really not quite sure what to think of recent conversations around our dinner table. My 5-year-old seems to be making plans that don’t include his parents…long term plans, and I’m starting to worry he’s met a hit man on the playground, or his older, adult siblings have been talking to him again…
Last Week…
Aaron: (looking at our wedding rings) Are you going to wear those rings forever?
Me: Yes, forever!
Aaron: Even when you’re dead?
Me: Yes. Forever is forever.
Aaron: I don’t think you should wear them when you’re dead. You should just give them to me before you die and I’ll keep them safe for you.
===================================================
Last Night…
Aaron: Daddy, when you’re dead can I have all your clothes?
And ya’ll thought he looked so sweet and innocent, didn’t you. If you don’t hear from me, please tell the investigators to look for a child wearing oversized clothes and a diamond ring.
LOL – I remember those days, when the kids started to realize what death really is. Don’t be surprised if he gets very upset because he realizes that you’ll be gone when you’re dead, and then realizes he will die one day, too.

Too funny! I really love the process children take to grasp things!

He is so normal in his comments. You and Kristy still do it to me fighting over who gets the saphire on my finger when I die. Do you have alterier motives.
I love this picture of him, and with a face like that he looks so innocent.LOL great post.
XOXOX
Aww…he is just beginning to understand death. Then again, maybe he did meet a hit man on the playground.lol
That little guy has some incredible expressions and your husband is very good at capturing them.

Too funny – I find it interesting how he’s zoning in on that things are left behind and he would want to hang on to them…
I remember doing bed checks as a five year old to make sure everyone was still breathing – as a new mom, I’m still doing bed checks to make sure she’s still breathing

too cute! brought T to a hearing test and he passed! So since then, i’ve been telling him that he needs to buy mummy lots of chanel bags, diamond rings and what’s not when he grows up…but i’ll remember this convo of yours! lol. too cute!
I would check to see if he has an Ebay account. Sounds a little suspicious to me:)

What a darling photo. He looks SO innocent.
I wonder were those questions came from. Inquisitive, isn’t he?
Barbara Swafford´s last blog ..Do “They” Have The Right To Know
Holy cats! But I bet your husband is a sharp dresser….
my cousins used to go through our grandparents’ house when we were kids, pointing to cool stuff, saying, “I want that when they die.” It was funny only because they were really little. Also, my grandmother had this horrible habit of saying, “you want that? you can have it when I die.”
Hmmm, one can understand all sorts of things from these conversations. What I see in them is his fear of losing you and wanting to have something to hold on to you.
Nurit: It’s true. A little while after this conversation, he climbed onto my lap and started to cry. He said, “Mommy, some day you and Daddy will be dead and I’ll be all alone.” It was one of those parenting moments when your heart breaks a little.
When I was 5, I asked my mom if she would leave me her Dawn dish soap in her will.
