Today Emmaline was watching Charlotte's Web and came running to me with a question:
Emmaline: Mom, why do spiders have to die?
Me: Because everything that has a body dies someday.
Emmaline: Will I die?
Me: Yes. When your body gets old it will die.
Emmaline: Oooooh. What will happen to my body?
Me: Well your spirit will go to Heaven to live with Heavenly Father and your body will go rest at the cemetary. And you'll get a rock with your name on it.
Emmaline: Oh! Okay!
Luckily we've talked before about what a cemetary is (she is always asking: what are all those "rocks" (gravestones) ?) and death in general so there weren't any new concepts for her. She just has never applied it to herself before. Very interesting to see those little minds at work.
