Daughter comes out of bed into the living room to announce that “You can’t die unless your heart stops beating and that is not going to happen not even when I’m sleeping.” I look at her and resond “I quite agree, now go back to bed please.” Wondering where that came from but not giving it too much thought.

Two days later in car. . “Momma, 2nd grade is going to kill me.” I respond, “No it’s not dear.” She continues, “Yes, it will.” I ask, “Why do you think so?” She said “My teacher told us that 2nd grade is going to kill us.” I said, “Well, what she meant was that 2nd grade will be much harder and will take more effort to do well.” Did you think it was really going to kill you?” She replied, “Yes.” Poor Kiddo.
