The ultimate in bad days.
I took Bryn and Nicholas to visit the graveyard today for the first time. I showed them the graves of my brother and my grandmother, both of whom they never met. I explained to them that these were the spots where all the dead people were buried. I could see Bryn’s thought process on the whole idea but he just wasn’t quite getting it. He kept asking how the people got under there and who puts them under there, etc. Once he clued in Bryn kept saying “It’s so sad that all these people are dead.” “Yes, honey, it is sad. We miss people when they die, so we cry because we’ll never see them again.” Nicholas, ever the parrot of his brother, repeats, “It is so sad… these poor people.”
On our way out Bryn surveyed the huge cemetary and said, “There are A LOT of dead people in here!” I had to agree… there were a lot of stones. As we were driving out Nicholas, once again, says how sad it is that all these people are dead. Then he sadly says, “Oh… these people are having a really bad day because they are all dead.” I had to chuckle. It’s gotta be a bad day when you realize you’re dead!

I’m so glad you’re sharing these with us! What a great way to preserve these funny comments. My friends mom kept a journal of all of the funny things she and her brother would say and gave it to them when they graduated from highschool. She cherishes this journal and reads it now to her kids!
