Losttogether Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Most of the time I figure there isn't much my kids can say that shock me. Today my daughter managed it though. I really didn't know whether to laugh or cry (although ultimately I went with laugh because it was just so creepy and weird!) As we were walking to our car after I picked my kids (7 and 9) up from school we passed a house that was very well decorated for Halloween. There were spooky ghosts hanging from trees, cobwebs, big spiders etc. On the ground there was a large coffin shaped pile of leaves with a RIP grave maker at one end and a skeleton partially coming out of the leaf pile. My 9 year old saw it and said 'ooh look at the dead guy!' My 7 year old shouted out 'It's daddy! I think it's daddy coming to visit us for Halloween!' It was seriously a nasty, creepy looking skeleton. Where do they come up with this stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtokam Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Oh boy! Yes, the laugh was the right approach! Where do they come up with these things! They are obviously not freaked out about stuff like that! Smile and carry on mom! It's all you can do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgo Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I had a conversation with my daughters about their burial wishes, sad. They brought it up, not me. Kids shouldn't be thinking about that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fern Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 my 5 year old Bean has said a few times now "When we die, let's get cremated so that we can be with Dadda". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmy2babies Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 When my daughter was 8 (12 now), dh had been gone a couple of years. She learned about decomposition in school and came home asking me if her father was a skeleton now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imissdow Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I was in the car with my 3 DD's and my sister. The kids started telling me what there plans were when my sister and I die. She was a little creep-ed out. Me not so much. They told us we are to be cremated I will be put with my DH. My sisters ashes will be scattered at various Dunkin Donuts, her favorite coffee spot.
