When you die you go to Karen's.

    My little girl goes to a babysitter 3 days a week. She is 2 and the other little girl is 3. They were talking about their Daddy's. So they asked the babysitter where her Daddy was. Carlotta told them her daddy died and he lived in heaven.

    So, when I picked up my girl she asked me, "Is Daddy at home?" I told her he was probably there. Then she told me, "Your Grandma died. Your Daddy not at home. He's dead. He's at Karen's."

    I said, "What?? Papa's in Italy. What happens when you die?"

    Teryn said, "When you dead, you die you go to Karen's."

    She is 2 (she turned 2 in May) so I laughed and still can't figure out what she is talking about ......... even after I called the babysitter to find out how this came about. I do know that she has been thinking about death because my Grandma died last week. She wanted us to go fix her. "Let's go fix Grandma" (actually sounds like: less go fix gandma).

    You lost your grandma - please accept my condolences. I miss both of mine very much, it's a special kind of love they give.

    It's amazing how the little ones have such simple clarity about these issues. Just 'go fix grandma'.

    As for going to Karen's when we die, well, hmm, ahh, we'll probably never know where that came from! I can bet Teryn was just too cute and serious in her telling of this. Very matter-of-fact, no big deal. I could picture it as I was reading yr story. Children, they're so great!

    take care

    Thats hillarious, they are so innocent! My youngest daughter misses my wifes friend who just passed away and keeps asking where she is, so my wife tells her she is with the angels.

    My wife isnt sure if there is a GOD but it seems to be an easy answer. Mabey Karen's is just as easy!

    That story is too cute, SimpleSally. I bet she is simply adorable too!

    A couple of years ago when I was visiting my sister and 5yr old niece, I went to the grave where our mother is buried. My niece was with me at the time, and it prompted her to ask questions about why Grandma died etc ("Grandma was very very sick and she died" - "Couldn't the doctors get her better?" - "No, she eventually got too sick for the drs to be able to do anything" etc)

    Because my sister is a JW my niece has been taught that Grandma will come back in the resurrection, and for now she is only sleeping.

    "Is she in the ground?"

    "Yes, her body was put in a special box and put in the ground. She doesn't feel anything, because she's dead."

    My niece was satisfied with that, but her mind must have been still thinking about the subject because later that evening, when we were just watching tv together, she asked,

    "Is Grandma buried standing up or lying down?"

    Classic.

    If they have good food at Karen's it could be a cool hereafter.

    Now, that is a sweet story.

    Sally, your little girl sounds delightful. Hearing your story makes me wish that I had had a dozen children.
