Attempt to explain death: FAIL

Tonight, as Maggie and I laid on the floor to watch "Finding Nemo" (Meemo) for the millionth time, she asked where the kitty was.  I reminded her that he was very sick and he went to Heaven. She said, "To Heaven?  On an airplane?" 


I said, "Yeah, I guess."  

"That's how I went to Heaven when I was a kitty."  Okay.  Perhaps we will delve a little more deeply into the whole reincarnation thing.

Sorta like Kylie telling us about how when she was bigger she had a pet frog named Pepsi...
Well, sorta like Maggie talking about going to Heaven, but not quite.

It's a good thing my office door is closed while I am eating lunch because Maggie's comment about going to Heaven as a kitty made me snort. Loudly.

Good luck with that explanation! Maybe there's a picture book at Target that will explain it all. We shall look today.

I'm so sorry about your kitty. I just hate that part of having pets. I can still tear up at the thought of losing my first two "kids"...life is just never the same without them.

But I do have to say that's HILARIOUS! Oh, Maggie...she's a funny one, too!

I'm so sorry about Louie. Lil has a terrible time with the concept of death and heaven. I'm sure she mentioned something about being a baby doggy in heaven just the other day...:eye roll:
