Existential musings from the sandbox


Eli, "Mommy, when were you a kid?"
Mommy, "13 years ago according to the state but 27 years since I was your age."
Eli, "When did you die?"
Mommy...long pause..."I've never died buddy."
Eli, "Do we get to live forever, and never die?"
Mommy, "Everybody dies someday sweetheart."
Eli, "Mommy, did you have daddy when you were a kid?"
Mommy, "No.  I grew up, then I met daddy."
Eli, "Did you have a mommy when you were a kid?"
Mommy, "Yes, everyone is born with a mommy.  Grandma is my mommy."
Eli, "Then was I in grandma's tummy before I was born?"
Mommy, "No buddy, you were in my tummy.  I was in grandma's tummy."
Eli, "Was I in your tummy when you were a kid?"
Mommy, "No buddy.  I grew up first, then met daddy, then daddy and I made you, and you were in my tummy."
