Death and the Six Year Old

Last night, going to sleep...

Finn: Is Old bad?

Mom: No, old isn't bad.

Finn: But Old is Dying!

Mom: Well, not always. Is dying bad?

Finn: Yes!

Mom: Why is it bad?

Finn: Because our muscles go away and our bones go away.

Pause

Finn: When we die do we go to heaven?

Mom: Yes, we do.

Finn: Do we come angels?

Mom: Yes.

Finn: Are angels floating people?

Mom: Yes, they are!

Finn: Are your grandma and grandpa angels now?

Mom: Yes, they are.
