Bedtime Talk

The girls and I had an interesting talk tonight after we said our bedtime prayers. For those of you that don't know, Ryan's Grandpa Melvin is a very sick man. He has been hospitalized in critical condition for just short of a week. After praying for Grandpa Melvin, the girls were sad and had a lot of questions/comments concerning death. We talked about dying, talked about going to heaven (Camden thinks you drive there!), talked about funerals, talked about being sad and shared some tears. I found it a perfect chance to reiterate to the girls that they can always ask me anything or talk about anything with me. Emerson's immediate response was, "Well you never told me what the middle finger means, mommy." I told her that I hadn't heard her ask me that. She informed me that she asked me this a long time ago and I still haven't told her!
