Age is just a number...

Mommy: Brady, we're going to see Gramps at the funeral home, because he passed away.  That means he died, and is living with God in Heaven now.

Brady: Is Daddy going to be there?

Mommy: Yes, Daddy will be at the funeral home too.

Brady: Is Daddy dead too?

Mommy: NO!  Only Gramps has died.  All of our family will be alive there, except Gramps.  He lives with God now.

Brady: Did Gramps die because someone shot him?

Mommy: NO!!!  He died because he got very old.

Brady: Like 115 years old?  Because when you get to be 115 years old you die.

Mommy: Well, no he wasn't that old.

Brady: Was he 100 years old?  Because you don't die if you're just 100 years old.

Mommy: Gramps was almost 78 years old, but sometimes people die before they're 100 years old & sometimes they live longer.

Brady: Did someone cut Gramps in half and that's why he died?

Mommy: NO!!!!!!  He died from being too old; no one shot any one, and no one cut any one in half?!?!

Brady: Okay.  I think I'm going to live to be 100 years old.  Unless someone shoots me or cuts me in half.

Mommy: Can we talk about something else now?

Brady: Sure.  Did you know that if you lick your lips too much & then put a lot of salt on your food it'll sting?

Mommy:  Thanks for the 'heads-up'.

Brady: You're welcome.
