Death Talk

My mother-in-law had to put her dog down recently. We had to explain to Maya that the dog was old and not doing well. Maya now thinks anyone older than she is will be dead soon. I was having a tea party with Maya the other day. I had this moment when I looked across the table and could see how big my little girl has gotten. I thought about a time in the future where she would take a break from her work day and meet me for lunch. I tried to tell her what I was thinking.

Daddy: “You know Maya one day when you are all grown up and have your own job Daddy will…
Maya: “Be dead.”
Daddy: “Well umm… no what I was going to say was you will…”
Maya:Wait I farted. Let me check if I pooped… no I’m ok.”
Daddy: “Never mind.”

Why rush things anyway.

The return of Ms M

While talking about making a favorite dish for her family Ms M said:
"If they could have it everyday as a Sunday meal they would."
